Tilapia is a very mild-tasting fish that takes on the flavors of the ingredients it's cooked with. If you can't find tilapia, flounder or any other mild white fish is a good substitute. Ingredients:
1/4 cup dry white wine |
1/4 cup chopped seeded tomato |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
2 tablespoons drained capers |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
cooking spray |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 tablespoons light butter |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
lemon wedges (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine first 6 ingredients, stirring well with a whisk; set aside.
2. Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper. Dredge fillets lightly in flour, and coat both sides of fillets with cooking spray.
3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fillets; cook 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; turn fillets, and cook 3 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove from pan.
4. Add wine mixture to pan; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in butter until melted. Spoon wine mixture over fillets; sprinkle with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
