TILAPIA WITH BALSAMIC BROWNED BUTTER AND CREAMY FARFALLE WITH BACON, TOMATO AND PEAS

Steps:

• Heat a pot of water to a boil, salt the water and cook pasta to al dente.
• Heat a deep large skillet with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add bacon and crisp 3 to 4 minutes. Add onions, garlic, bay leaf and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook until tender but not browned, 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, crush them up with a wooden spoon and simmer 15 minutes on low heat.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper. Dust fish with flour and shake off excess.
• Heat 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook fish 4 minutes on each side.
• While fish cooks, stir peas into sauce, return to bubble and stir in mascarpone cheese. Adjust seasoning.
• Remove fish from skillet to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Reduce heat to medium and add butter to pan. Brown butter, 2 to 3 minutes, stir in balsamic and simmer 1 to 2 minutes to reduce by half. Pour the brown butter and vinegar over fish.
• Drain pasta, toss with sauce and wilt basil into pasta.
• Serve fish with pasta alongside.

BROILED TILAPIA FILLETS

Steps:

• Line the broiler pan with aluminium foil.
• Pat the fish dry then place it on the pan. Season both sides of the fish with the salt, pepper, oregano and parsley.
• Drizzle the fish with the olive oil then top with the garlic.
• Set the broiler and place the fish about 8 inches away. Cook until the fish is cooked through and flaky, about 8 minutes. (Time depends on the thickness of the fillets.) Be careful not to burn the garlic.
• Serve with the lemon wedges.

BALSAMIC BAKED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• Rub tilapia filets with 2 teaspoons olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Place fillets in a small baking dish, and top with the balsamic onion mixture. Sprinkle fish evenly with blue cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until fish flakes easily. Serve atop salad greens.

TILAPIA WITH BALSAMIC BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Simmer vinegar and garlic in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat until reduced to a thick syrup, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over high heat and season fish with salt & pepper; saute until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
• Cut butter into 1/2 inch cubes and whisk into saucepan one piece at a time.
• Serve fish drizzled with sauce.

BALSAMIC BROWNED BUTTER OVER TILAPIA FILLETS

• Salt and pepper the fish and dredge in the flour. Shake off any extra flour.
• Heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Pan fry the fish for 4 minutes per side.
• Remove fish and set aside, but keep it warm.
• Brown the butter slowly over medium heat.
• Add balsamic vinegar.
• Simmer until volume reduces by half. It should be somewhat like a syrup, but not that thick.
• Pour over tilapia fillets and serve immediately.
• Healthier Ideas: Try baking the tilapia for less fat. (Not sure what to suggest about the butter! LOL!).
