• Season both sides of tilapia with Adobo seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side without moving. Set aside and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Melt remaining 3 tbsp butter in pan. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add white wine, capers, and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
• Add about 1 tbsp cold water to cornstarch and mix to make a slurry. Pour into sauce mixture while stirring and simmer about 5 minutes, until thickened.

SAUCY TILAPIA WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic, cook for 1 minute, then add the tomatoes, capers, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes.
• Season the tilapia with salt and pepper. Raise the heat under the sauce to medium and simmer. Nestle the fillets in the sauce, cover, and cook for 3 minutes. Using cooking tongs or a fork, turn the fish over and continue cooking, uncovered, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until a fork goes through the thickest part of the fish with no resistance. Garnish with the basil, if desired.

TILAPIA WITH ARUGULA, CAPERS, AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a medium nonstick skillet, bring 1/4 cup water to a boil. Add tomatoes and red-pepper flakes; top with tilapia, and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and cook 3 minutes. Add arugula. Cover, and cook until tilapia flakes easily with a fork, about 2 minutes.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer tilapia and vegetables to a plate (reserve skillet).
• Make sauce: Off heat, add butter, lemon juice, and capers to skillet; swirl until butter has melted. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Serve tilapia over arugula and tomatoes; drizzle with sauce.

TILAPIA WITH ARUGULA AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in arugula; cover to keep warm.
• Place flour in a shallow bowl. Pat dry tilapia with paper towels; season both sides with salt and the red-pepper flakes. Dredge fish in flour, tapping off excess. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Cook tilapia (working in batches, if necessary) until lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side; transfer to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil. (Add more oil between batches, if needed.)
• Add wine to skillet; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and stir in capers; gradually stir in butter until combined. Divide vegetables and fish among plates; top with pan sauce.
