This is a delicious fish dish made with capers, tomatoes, butter, and white wine. This recipe uses tilapia fillets, but goes great with any type of fish you like.
INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings):
- 2 (3 ounce) fillets tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lemon, halved
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 3 tablespoons capers
- 1 cup asparagus spears, trimmed and cut in half
- 3 tablespoons butter
PREPARATION:
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Drizzle fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place fillets in skillet and sprinkle with half of the lemon over. Cook for 3 minutes per side, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Transfer fillets to a plate, and keep warm.
Add wine, remaining 1/2 lemon, tomatoes, capers, and salt and pepper to the skillet. Increase heat to medium high and boil for 2 minutes to burn off alcohol. Reduce heat to low and return fillets to the pan along with the asparagus. Cover and simmer 2 minutes more, then transfer fish and asparagus to a serving dish and keep warm.
Again, increase heat to medium high and whisk in butter, and boil to desired consistency. Spoon sauce over fish, and serve.
