EASY TILAPIA
Steps:

- Add wine, remaining 1/2 lemon, tomatoes, capers, and salt and pepper to the skillet. Increase heat to medium high and boil for 2 minutes to burn off alcohol.

At the same time, add the prosciutto and cook, stirring, until browned. Flip the fillets and place the skillet in the oven. Roast until the fish is just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Set the fillets on serving plates and drain the prosciutto on a paper towel-lined plate.

- Heat the grill to high.
- Brush the fish on both sides with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until lightly golden brown and slightly charred. Toss the orzo with a few tablespoons of the lemon butter and 2 tablespoons of the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the orzo to a platter. Remove from the grill and immediately place the fillets on the orzo and top each fillet with some of the lemon butter and capers. Garnish with the remaining parsley.

Steps:
- Cut the tilapia fillet in half so you have two smaller pieces. Make sure to really pat the fish down with the paper towel so that you get a really good sear. It should be relatively dry to the touch (or as dry as possible for a fish to be.) Dredge the two pieces lightly in the flour and shake off the rest. It should just be a thin white dusting of flour. Now season each side with seasoning salt and put to the side. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and place the fish in. Season the fish with the sea salt and sear on both sides until the fish develops a nice brown color and is white in the center. Now splash in the white wine and the butter and stir around. The sauce will thicken very quickly due to the fish being dusted in the flour. Remove the fish from the pan, pour sauce over fish, and squeeze with some lemon for a burst of freshness. I served my fish with a salad made of arugula, red onion sliced thinly, and some toasted almonds. I whipped up a quick vinaigrette (balsamic vinegar, olive oil, chopped garlic, salt and pepper). This recipe is super healthy and extra delicious.

Tips:
- Choose the right tilapia. When selecting tilapia, look for fish that is firm and has a mild, fresh smell. Avoid tilapia that is slimy or has a strong odor.
- Season the tilapia well. Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it is important to season it well before cooking. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
- Cook the tilapia over medium heat. Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Do not overcook the tilapia. Tilapia is a thin fish, so it cooks quickly. Overcooking tilapia will make it tough and dry. To check if the tilapia is cooked, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fish flakes easily, it is cooked through.
- Serve the tilapia immediately. Tilapia is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that the fish is hot and flaky.
Conclusion:
Tilapia with capers and white wine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The capers and white wine add a bright and flavorful sauce to the tilapia. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
