Description: This is my take on a James Beard recipe. So simple and quick, very few ingredients. This is the dish that turned me into a fish lover. Trick is to have everything ready to go when you start. It's fast from start to table.
Ingredients:
12 -16 ounces tilapia fillets
1 lemon, juice of
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
4 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4-1/2 cup flour, for dusting fish
Steps:
Chop parsley and put aside. Juice lemon and put aside.
Melt 2 tbs. butter and the olive oil in non-stick skillet
Lightly dust fish fillets in flour, season if desired with salt and pepper.
When butter stops bubbling, add fish and saute 3-4 min on first side.
Turn and finish second side 3-4 min, until done and flaky. Remove to plate and keep warm.
Add remaining 2tbs. butter to skillet and melt.
Stir in lemon juice and parsley quickly and pour immediately over fish.
