Fish Piccata


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 small white fish fillets (such as tilapia)
  •  salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup Chicken stock
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 finely chopped garlic 

Process

·         Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating, blot the fish dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour, shaking off any excess. Saute the fish in the oil until just cooked through, about 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the fish to a platter.

 

·         Now fry the chopped garlic in the same pan till golden ,then add chicken stock, whisking for about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and capers and stir. Add the butter ( dip the butter in flour before adding it to the sauce) and stir or whisk to incorporate to bring the sauce together. Pour onto the fish and garnish with the chopped parsley.
