Time 23m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup margarine, divided
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers, drained and smashed
½ cup fish stock
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Season tilapia fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Mix 3 tablespoons flour and garlic powder together in a shallow bowl. Dredge tilapia fillets in flour mixture; shake off excess.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook fillets in the hot margarine for 2 minutes. Flip; cook until crust is crisp and flesh just starts to flake when pressed with a fork, about 1 minute more. Transfer fillets to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Melt remaining 1 tablespoon margarine in the same skillet over medium heat. Scrape the browned bits of fish off the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon flour until thickened. Add lemon juice and capers.
  • Pour fish stock into the skillet; cook, stirring frequently, until reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes. Return fillets to the skillet and spoon reduced stock on top. Garnish with parsley.

This was a good recipe. The fish was cooked well and the sauce was tasty. However, I would have liked the sauce to be a bit thicker.

This was a bit bland. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

The sauce was a bit too lemony for my taste, but otherwise this was a great recipe. The tilapia was cooked perfectly and the capers added a nice flavor.

This tilapia piccata was a hit! The fish was flaky and tender, and the lemon-butter sauce was rich and flavorful. The capers added a nice briny touch. I served it over angel hair pasta, and it was a perfect meal.
