Tilapia Piccata For Two

A tip: soaking the tilapia in a small amount milk for about 15-20 minutes prior removes some of the fishy taste.

In a pie pan or other shallow dish , mix together flour , salt and pepper.

In a saute pan large enough to fit both pieces of fish , heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over high heat.

While pan is heating , dredge fish in flour mixture , completely coating fish but shaking off any excess.

Place fish in saute pan and cook for about 4 minutes on each side , until almost done.

Remove fish from pan and set aside.

Turn heat down to medium-low and add remaining olive oil.

Add green onions and cook for 3 minutes or until just tender.

Add garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.

Add white wine and reduce by half.

Add capers and lemon zest and juice and cook for 2 minutes.

Add butter and stir to melt.

The sauce should be slightly thickened.

Return fish to pan , turn to coat with sauce and cook for 3-5 minutes or until fish is done.
