We have made this with different kinds of fish cod, sole, catfish, orange roughy and flounder. Points...4.
Ingredients:
1 -1 1/3 lb tilapia fillet, about 1/2 inch thick
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and pepper
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 green onions, chopped
Directions:
1. Rinse the fish and pat dry.
2. Put the flour on a plate and season it with salt and pepper.
3. Dredge the fillets in the flour, patting to remove excess.
4. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, wine, lime juice and butter, then set aside.
5. Heat the oil in a 10 to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat.
6. Add the fillets without overlapping (you may need to cook in 2 batches).
7. Cook until golden on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
8. Turn the fillets over and cook until opaque through the thickest part, 1 to 2 minutes more.
9. Transfer the fish to a platter and keep warm (cover with foil or place in a 200 degree oven).
10. Add the wine mixture to pan and boil, scraping up cooked bits, until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
11. Stir in the onions and heat on low about 30 seconds.
12. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve.
