FISH PICCATA

Fish Piccata is an easy fish dinner, made in a skillet with inexpensive tilapia fillets. You'll love this tender, seared fish topped with a briny and savory lemon caper sauce.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1.5 pounds (650g) tilapia loins or fillets (thawed completely, see note 1)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter (divided)
2 teaspoons minced garlic (about two cloves)
¾ cup dry white wine (or chicken stock, see note 2)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh)
3 tablespoons capers in brine
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl and place each piece of fish into the flour. Turn to coat and then shake off any excess.
  • Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a non stick pan over medium-high heat and cook the fish in batches for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet onto a plate.
  • If there's too much oil in the pan, discard most of it. Return the pan to heat, melt one tablespoon of butter, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add wine (or chicken stock) to the skillet and cook until it reduces in half. Add lemon juice, and the remaining butter and cook gently until the sauce emulsifies.
  • Add in the capers, lemon zest, and chopped parsley and stir before removing from the heat.
  • Spoon the sauce over the tilapia and serve warm with mashed potatoes and vegetables or salad.

SALMON PICCATA



Salmon Piccata image

Here, the richness of the salmon really balances out the tangy zip of the lemon and capers. Throw in those good Omega-3's and you get a healthy and quick weeknight dinner.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Four 5- to 6-ounce skinless wild salmon fillets
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more if needed
1 shallot, chopped
1/3 cup chicken broth or clam juice
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1 teaspoon lemon zest (about 1 large lemon)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dry the salmon fillets well with paper towel and season evenly with 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Add the oil to the pan and heat an additional 30 seconds. Add the fillets to the pan, flesh-side down, and cook undisturbed until deep golden brown, about 4 minutes. The fish should look cooked up the sides of the fillets. Carefully flip the fish and cook an additional minute or until a thin metal skewer inserted in the thickest part comes out warm when touched to your bottom lip. Using a slotted spatula, remove the fish to a plate to rest.
  • Return the pan to medium heat and add the shallot and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, adding more oil if needed. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant and soft, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, capers and lemon zest. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly. Whisk in the butter and mustard until smooth and combined. Stir in the parsley and spoon the sauce over the salmon.
