Tilapia Piccata
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 tilapia fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper, then dredge them in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tilapia fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Return the tilapia fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat the fish through.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately, spooning the sauce over the fish. Enjoy!
