Tilapia Picata

By katgraz

So every Wednesday we eat very late because of work.  I have been trying to do light meals only on these nights. 

I found this recipe on a blog and loved it.  I even did the julienned carrots and zuchini which was a perfect side dish.

Directions:
In a saute pan heat some butter and olive oil. Dredge your fish in some flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Nicely brown both sides of your fish, I prefer tilapia in this, I think it holds up really well and I like the “non fishy” taste.

Gently remove your fish, deglaze your pan with some white wine scraping up the brown bits. Squeeze a half of a juicy lemon in, more if you like, a nice splash of chicken stock, a couple tablespoons of capers, and a little more butter. After it reduces a while, put your fish back in along with some sliced lemons and fresh parsley. Cook a couple minutes more just till the fish is done, and the all the flavors blend together.
