Skillet Tilapia with Creamy Lemon Sauce

This Skillet Tilapia with creamy lemon sauce tastes like summertime. The fresh garlic, herbs, and lemon juice will immediately transport you to a balcony Bistro on the Island of Capri without ever leaving your house. The tender flaky fish is the best tilapia recipe

INGREDIENTS

For the Fish
▢ 1 tablespoons olive oil
▢ 1 tablespoon butter
▢ 4 fillets tilapia, skinless
▢ salt, to taste
▢ 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)

▢ 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

INSTRUCTIONS

Set a skillet over medium heat; heat up oil and 1 tablespoon butter.
Season fish with salt and pepper and add to skillet; cook for 3 minutes per side.
Remove fish from skillet and set aside.
Add 1 tablespoon butter to the same skillet and melt over medium-high heat.

Slowly whisk in chicken broth and cook for 4 minutes, or until reduced by 1/3.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add remaining butter.
