Ingredients | Tilapia In Oven Temp And Time

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

Directions

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.

Substitute vegetable oil for the margarine if preferred.

It is easy to make fish broth by boiling bonito flakes and straining them out. Substitute chicken broth if preferred.

Substitute 1 teaspoon dried parsley for the fresh parsley if desired.
