Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 (6-ounce) tilapia (or sole or flounder) fillets
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 3/4 cup fat-free chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons rinsed capers
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced flatleaf parsley

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Place fish in pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish is opaque throughout. Remove fish from pan and cover to keep warm. Melt butter in pan. Add garlic; cook 1 minute or until lightly browned. Add broth, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Bring to boil; cook until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 6 minutes). Stir in capers and juice; cook 3 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from heat; stir in parsley. Serve immediately with fish. (Adapted from Cooking Light magazine.)
