Lemon tilapia

 

FOR THE FISH

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 skinless tilapia fillets
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

FOR THE LEMON CREAM SAUCE

  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup low sodium chicken broth, or dry white wine
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions 

  • Set a skillet over medium heat; heat up 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Season the fish with salt and pepper and transfer it to the skillet; cook for 3 minutes per side. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter to the same skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic and cook for 15 seconds.
  • Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and cook for 4 minutes or until reduced by 1/3. Reduce heat to medium-low and add remaining butter. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream.
  • Add lemon juice and whisk until everything is well combined. Make sure to whisk continually so that the heavy cream doesn't curdle.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then taste the sauce and adjust accordingly. 
  • Remove from heat.
  • Pour the sauce over the fish, or return the fish back into the skillet and spoon the sauce over it.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve
