Sautéed Tilapia with Lemon-Peppercorn Pan

Recipe By :pam Anderson

Serving Size : 2

3/4 cup fat-free chicken broth -- less-sodium

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoons green peppercorns -- brine-packed, drained, lightly crushed

1 teaspoon butter

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

2 6-ounce tilapia fillets -- or sole fillets

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons butter

Lemon wedges -- (optional)

Combine first 3 ingredients.

Melt 1 teaspoon of butter with oil in a large nonstick skillet over low heat.

While butter melts, sprinkle fish fillets with salt and black pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge fillets in flour; shake off excess flour.

Increase heat to medium-high; heat 2 minutes or until butter turns golden brown. Add fillets to pan; sauté 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove fillets from pan. Add broth mixture to pan, scraping to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat. Stir in two teaspoons of butter with a whisk. Serve sauce over fillets. Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired.

Wow charlie, these sound wonderful! Have about 10-12 frozen

Costco tilapia filets left in the freezer in FL. I can put them to good use trying these recipes. Thanks!

 
Thank you charlie, this looks delicious! I am on my way to Philadelphia today

for work over the weekend. We stay across the street from the wonderful farmers market in Center City. I have very few free moments but when I do I run over to the market and oggle the fish stand--so many new-to-me options for dinner!

Thanks for the tilapia recipe, I will try it as soon as I get back home.
