Sauteed Tilapia

Flaky

If you love fish then this Sauteed Tilapia recipe is for you. Tilapia is a delicate white fish which is perfect for pan sautéing. In just a few minutes you’ll have a light flaky fish with a wonderful, slightly creamy caper sauce to pour over the top.

Tilapia can be found anywhere throughout the year. It can be purchased whole, fresh or frozen and even live at some place. When I make this dish I use either fresh of frozen fillets. It makes it much easier than filleting the fish yourself.

The sauce is a simple one. It’s a traditional caper sauce made with a wine, broth and lemon reduction finished with butter which thickens the sauce up a bit and gives it a sweeter creamier flavor.

If you normally don’t eat fish, try this Sauteed Tilapia recipe and I’m sure you’ll be making it on a regular basis.

Enjoy!
