Tilapia Fillets with Asparagus Recipe

Serves/Makes: 2

Ingredients:

• 2 tilapia fillets (approximately 6 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Salt
• Pepper
• 1 lemon
• 1/2 cup of white wine
• 2 tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons of capers
• 1 cup of asparagus spears
• 3 tablespoons of butter

How to cook:

• Heat a big skillet over medium heat. A non-stick skillet is recommended.
• Pour olive oil over the Tilapia fillets and sprinkle some salt and pepper over the fish.
• Place the tilapia fillets in the skillet.
• Cut the lemon in halves and use one of the halves to squeeze lemon juice over the tilapia fillets.
• Let the tilapia fillets cook in the skillet for around 3 minutes per side. The tilapia is ready when you can flake it easily with a fork.
• Remove the tilapia fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate where they can be kept warm.
• Remove the seed from the tomatoes and chop the tomatoes into smaller pieces.
• Trim the asparagus spears and cut them in half.
• Pour white wine, tomatoes, capers and some salt and pepper into the skillet.
• Squeeze the juice from the remaining half of the lemon over the sauce.
• Increase the heat until its medium high and allow the sauce to boil for 2 minutes.
• The boiling will remove the alcohol from the wine.
• Decrease the heat to low and place the tilapia fillets in the sauce.
• Add the asparagus spears.
• Cover the simmer and let the dish simmer for at least 2 minutes.
• Place the tilapia fillets and the asparagus on a serving dish, and keep them warm.
• Increase the heat under the skillet to medium high and add the butter. Stir the sauce until the butter has blended with the sauce and boil to desired consistency.
• Spoon the sauce over the tilapia fillets and serve immediately.
