Steps:
- Cut fillets lengthwise to separate smaller and larger portions, then pat dry and season with pepper. Wrap each piece of fillet crosswise in a slice of prosciutto, leaving ends of fillet exposed if necessary and tucking 1 or 2 sage leaves between prosciutto and fillet (use 1 leaf for smaller pieces of fish).
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté the 4 larger pieces of fish 4 minutes. Turn over and sauté until just cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil. Wipe skillet clean and heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil, then sauté the 4 smaller pieces of fish, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 4 minutes total.

Tips:
- To ensure the prosciutto crisps up nicely, make sure it's thinly sliced and cook it over medium-high heat.
- If you don't have a non-stick skillet, lightly grease a regular skillet with cooking spray or oil to prevent the tilapia from sticking.
- To achieve a crispy skin on the tilapia, make sure the fish is patted dry before cooking and cook it skin-side down first.
- The cooking time for the tilapia may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Serve the tilapia immediately with the crispy prosciutto and sage butter sauce for the best flavor and texture.
