- Reviews 1
Ready In: 20 mins
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 16 ounces tilapia fillets (about 4 fillets)
- 1⁄4 cup green onion, sliced thin
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1⁄3 cup Chardonnay wine or 1⁄3 cup other dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
Directions
- In a pie pan or other shallow dish, mix together flour, salt and pepper.
- In a saute pan large enough to fit both pieces of fish, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over high heat.
- While pan is heating, dredge fish in flour mixture, completely coating fish but shaking off any excess. Place fish in saute pan and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, until almost done.
- Remove fish from pan and set aside. Turn heat down to medium-low and add remaining olive oil.
- Add green onions and cook for 3 minutes or until just tender. Add garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Add white wine and reduce by half.
- Add capers and lemon zest and juice and cook for 2 minutes. Add butter and stir to melt. The sauce should be slightly thickened.
- Return fish to pan, turn to coat with sauce and cook for 3-5 minutes or until fish is done.
