Ingredients:
- 4 fillets of white fish (such as tilapia or sole)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
- In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each fish fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.

- Add lemon juice and chicken or vegetable broth to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Stir in the capers and butter, allowing the butter to melt and create a creamy consistency. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Return the fish fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for an additional minute to heat the fish through.
- Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top as a garnish.
- Serve the Fish Piccata hot and enjoy!
