SautÉed Tilapia With Lemon Peppercorn Pan Sauce Recipes

SAUTéED TILAPIA WITH GARLIC HERB BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix butter with parsley, garlic, shallots, Dijon mustard, prosciutto, and lemon juice. Add a pinch of salt and pepper then stir until evenly mixed. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. When oil is shimmering, add fish fillets top side down and until fish is almost cooked through and the underside is deep golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn fillets over.
• Using a small offset spatula, spread butter mixture over the top of each fillet, evenly dividing butter among the fillets. Cook for 1-2 minutes more or until fish is just cooked through and butter mixture has melted into the fish. Serve immediately.

SAUTéED TILAPIA WITH LEMON-CAPER PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk together chicken stock, lemon juice and capers. Lightly crush the capers.
• Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Then dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess. Set aside.
• In a large skillet, melt one teaspoon of butter over medium heat. Turn up the heat to medium-high and brown the butter (it should be a golden brown color). Add the fillets to the pan. Sauté for about 3 minutes on each side (they are done when the fish flakes easily with a fork). Add olive oil to the pan as needed if the pan becomes too dry. Transfer fillets to plates.
• Pour the broth mixture into pan, being careful of splatter - it will instantly boil, steam and hiss. Scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Continue heating and stirring until the mixture is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Remove the pan from the burner and whisk in two teaspoons of butter. Spoon two tablespoons of mixture, give or take, over each fillet.
• Serve with rice (or as I did, a nice rice/pea mixture with a bit of lemon juice and pepper).
