Provided by RedVinoGirl

Categories     Tilapia

Time 30m

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons capers, drained
1 teaspoon butter
6 tilapia fillets (1.5 pounds total)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
olive oil
2 teaspoons butter
lemon wedge

Steps:

  • Whisk together chicken stock, lemon juice and capers. Lightly crush the capers.
  • Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Then dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt one teaspoon of butter over medium heat. Turn up the heat to medium-high and brown the butter (it should be a golden brown color). Add the fillets to the pan. Sauté for about 3 minutes on each side (they are done when the fish flakes easily with a fork). Add olive oil to the pan as needed if the pan becomes too dry. Transfer fillets to plates.
  • Pour the broth mixture into pan, being careful of splatter - it will instantly boil, steam and hiss. Scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Continue heating and stirring until the mixture is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Remove the pan from the burner and whisk in two teaspoons of butter. Spoon two tablespoons of mixture, give or take, over each fillet.
