Pan-Seared Tilapia with Zesty Caper Butter

How to make it

1. 1

   Start by gently patting your tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. This helps them get a beautiful sear. Season both sides lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium high heat until it is foamy.

3. 3

   Carefully place the tilapia fillets in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and flake easily with a fork. Remove the cooked fish from the skillet and set it aside on plates.

4. 4

   Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet along with the drained capers and the fresh lemon juice. Stir gently and let it simmer for about one minute, just until the sauce slightly thickens and everything is well combined.

5. 5

   Spoon this lovely zesty caper butter sauce over your tilapia fillets. Garnish with the freshly chopped parsley and serve right away. Enjoy this simple yet flavorful meal.
