Tastfully tempting tilapia.

Tonight I made a fish recipe for my family. Up until a few years ago we never at much fish (other than tuna salad), then we went on a vacation to Michigan. We found a place in Mackinaw City that serves the best whitefish I have ever had. After that I was hooked. While we still don't eat fish all of the time, I try to get a fish recipe in once a week to every other week. Below is the recipe I used tonight- Three fourths of my family liked it, and the fourth person is only a toddler, so no surprise...

Tilapia with Lemon Pepper Sauce

3/4 C Chicken broth
1/4 C lemon juice
1 tsp. capers (optional)
1 tsp. black pepper (freshly ground if you have a grinder)
1 tsp. butter
1 tsp. olive oil
12 oz pkg of frozen tilapia fillets (thawed)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper (once again fresh if you have it)
1/4 C flour (I use whole wheat, but all purpose is fine)
2 tsp. butter

1. Combine first 4 ingredients.
2. Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge fillets in flour (don't need to be completely covered, just lightly).
3. Melt 1 tsp. butter and oil in a large nonstick skillet over low heat. Increase heat to medium for another minute.
4. Add fillets to pan; saute for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they flake easily with a fork. Remove fillets from pan. Add lemon/broth mixture to pan, scrape pan to loosen bits. Bring to a boil; cook until reduced to 3/4 C (3-4 minutes). Remove from heat, stir in remaining 2 tsp. butter until melted. Serve sauce over fillets.

I usually serve with a side of rice-tonight I made Uncle Ben's Long Grain and Wild Rice (most fish recipes I've seen call for white rice, but I need more flair than that!)
Since it's fish, it's a pretty light recipe-only about 280 calories (give or take), and as I mentioned before, 3 out of 4 of my family loves it!
