Steps:
- Cut fillets lengthwise to separate smaller and larger portions, then pat dry and season with pepper. Wrap each piece of fillet crosswise in a slice of prosciutto, leaving ends of fillet exposed if necessary and tucking 1 or 2 sage leaves between prosciutto and fillet (use 1 leaf for smaller pieces of fish).
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté the 4 larger pieces of fish 4 minutes. Turn over and sauté until just cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil. Wipe skillet clean and heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil, then sauté the 4 smaller pieces of fish, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 4 minutes total.

Tips:
- To ensure the prosciutto remains crispy, cook it separately from the tilapia. A medium heat will help achieve this without burning the prosciutto.
- For the best flavor, use fresh sage leaves. If you don't have fresh sage, you can substitute dried sage, but use half the amount.
- To prevent the tilapia from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is hot before adding the fish. You can also use a non-stick pan.
- To ensure the tilapia is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Serve the tilapia immediately with the crispy prosciutto and sage leaves. You can also add a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
This tilapia with prosciutto and sage is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to impress your family and friends. The crispy prosciutto and fragrant sage leaves add a delicious flavor to the mild tilapia. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
