This recipe is from ivillage.com. I've made it with fillet of sole before but this time I tried tilapia. It was good but not as good as with fillet of sole. The filet of sole came out crispy on the edges and so flaky on the inside. Read more ..the tilapia sort of broke apart a bit...but the sauce is tasty See less

3 - 4 tablespoons olive oil shopping list
4 tbs butter(real butter not margarine....although I haven't tried it with margarine) shopping list
1 tbs capers shopping list
juice of 1 lemon(I used bottled lime juice instead) shopping list
1 tsp parsley shopping list

How to make it

heat oil in non stick pan over medium heat
add fish and cook on one side until brown
flip over once and brown on other side
meanwhile heat only 1 tbs of butter in small saucepan

add remaining butter and swirl around until it is melted
****this will create a creamy buttery sauce not oily***

What a great recipe! Simple and fast for everyday and yet I would gladly serve it to guests as well. Have you ever tried Basa fillets? It is a relative of the catfish and is my current favourite I think that it would be good for this recipe too.

tip: try browning in walnut oil and adding butter and all ingredients you listed for more of a brown butter sauce....adds an element of a nutty crisper flavor...but i like your recipe :)
