Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets Tilapia fillets
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 0.5 cups White wine
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the flour on a shallow plate and lightly dredge each fillet. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tilapia fillets in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then transfer the fillets to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the capers, white wine, chicken broth, and lemon juice. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly.
Return the tilapia fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to warm the fillets and meld the flavors.
Sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
