Tilapia with a Lemon Caper Sauce






My husband loves tilapia. I mean he absolutely loves it. When you are around him eating it you can pretty much expect him to be going, "mmmm this is so good" the entire time :)
I really need to make it more often as I love it too and it is very inexpensive.

This is a simple and light dish that is sure to please.
We served it up with basmati rice and green beans and were quite satisfied!

Here is what you'll need:
-¾ cups Low Sodium, Fat Free Chicken Broth
-¼ cups Lemon Juice
-2 teaspoons Capers
-¼ teaspoons Salt
-¼ teaspoons Pepper
-1 Tablespoon Butter, Divided
-4 Tilapia Fillets
-¼ cups Flour

Preparation:
Combine the broth, lemon juice and capers and set aside.
Salt and pepper the tilapia and then dredge the fish in the flour.
Melt, over low heat, the tablespoon of butter in a large pan. Once the butter has melted, increase the heat to high, and put the fillets in the pan and let cook for 3 minutes on each side. Or until the fish flakes with a fork. Remove from pan and tent with tin foil.
Add the broth, lemon juice and caper mixture to the pan scrapping the bottom of the pan to release browned goodness. Bring to a boil and cook for three minutes or until reduced in half. Serve two tablespoons of the sauce over the tilapia.


Give it a try to mix it up a little and add some fish into your life :)
You won't be disappointed!
