This is a wonderful flaky tilapia with a lemon caper sauce. The flour adds a wonderful texture to the fish without being too heavy or thick.
Combine the broth, lemon juice and capers and set aside.
Salt and pepper the tilapia and then dredge the fish in the flour.
Melt, over low heat, the tablespoon of butter in a large pan. Once the butter has melted, increase the heat to high, and put the fillets in the pan and let cook for 3 minutes on each side. Or until the fish flakes with a fork. Remove from pan and tent with tin foil.
Add the broth, lemon juice and caper mixture to the pan scrapping the bottom of the pan to release browned goodness. Bring to a boil and cook for three minutes or until reduced in half. Serve two tablespoons of the sauce over the tilapia.

This was easy and delicious. I have been looking for a great tilapia dish and I found it. Thank you!
This was delicious with some asparagus and risotto on the side! Thanks!

Wonderful! Also tastes great with chicken instead of fish, just make sure to pound your chicken breasts real thin or butterfly them.

5 mitts! Very tasty! Will definitely make this one again.
The pan sauce really adds a lot, and the flavor is marvelous. Thanks so much for sharing!

I made this tonight and it was out of this world! SO simple but tasty. This ranks right up there with a sweet, locally owned, seafood restuarant on the coast of North Carolina called the Blue Turtle.
The only thing I would change is to not cook this on high. You may need to do that with a nonstick pan but stainless steel only needs medium.
My son and I are hitting Costco tomorrow and fish is definitely on the list so we can make it again! I think it will be a family favorite. Even my 5 year old daughter ate it.
