    Instructions

    Tilapia with Lemon Butter Sauce

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, coarsely chopped
    • 1 lemon
    • 1 ½ lb tilapia fillets (thawed)
    • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
    • 4 teaspoons flour, divided
    • Large zip-top bag
    • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
    • ¼ cup white wine

    Prep

      • Chop parsley; cut lemon in half. Set both aside.
      • Check fish for bones (wash hands).

    Steps

      1. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place seasoned salt and 3 teaspoons flour in zip-top bag; shake to mix. Add fish to zip-top bag; seal tightly and shake to coat.
      2. Place 1 tablespoon butter in pan, then add fish; cook 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter to center of pan and flip fillets, using spatula, to distribute butter under each fillet. Cook 3 more minutes and until fish is golden and flakes easily and is 145°F. Transfer fish to serving plates.
      3. Add wine and remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon flour to pan; squeeze juice of lemon into pan. Heat and stir 1–2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in parsley and serve butter sauce over fish.
