Recipe #38: Tilapia Scaloppine

This dinner was AWESOME. Full flavor and easy to make, I found this on allrecipes.com when I was trying to find a new way to make tilapia. The only thing I changed was using chicken broth instead of white wine since I didn't want to open a new bottle.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 pound tilapia fillets
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup sliced fresh button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons drained capers
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1 lemon, juiced

Directions

1. Heat olive oil with butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic. Place fish fillets in the skillet; sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper, and cook for 90 seconds. Turn the fish; season with salt and pepper, and cook an additional 90 seconds.
2. Add the mushrooms, capers, and wine. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the wine is reduced by half, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the cover, pour in lemon juice, and cook for one minute.
