Tilapia Scaloppine image

I often eat at Macaroni Grill and order their Pollo Scaloppine. I thought I might try and adapt it at home using a mild fish. My husband was amazed at what I came up with. It's good with salad, brown rice and crusty bread.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 pound tilapia fillets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup sliced fresh button mushrooms
2 tablespoons drained capers
½ cup white wine
1 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil with butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic. Place fish fillets in the skillet; sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper, and cook for 90 seconds. Turn the fish; season with salt and pepper, and cook an additional 90 seconds.
