Ingredients

  • 2 (3 ounce) fillets tilapia fillets

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 lemon, halved

  • ½ cup white wine

  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped

  • 3 tablespoons capers

  • 1 cup asparagus spears, trimmed and cut in half

  • 3 tablespoons butter

Directions

  1. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Drizzle fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place fillets in skillet and sprinkle with half of the lemon over. Cook for 3 minutes per side, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Transfer fillets to a plate, and keep warm.

  2. Add wine, remaining 1/2 lemon, tomatoes, capers, and salt and pepper to the skillet. Increase heat to medium high and boil for 2 minutes to burn off alcohol. Reduce heat to low and return fillets to the pan along with the asparagus. Cover and simmer 2 minutes more, then transfer fish and asparagus to a serving dish and keep warm.

  3. Again, increase heat to medium high and whisk in butter, and boil to desired consistency. Spoon sauce over fish, and serve.
