Ingredients:

- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp chopped parsley leaves
- 2 tsp capers, drained,
- ½ cup Sonoma Gourmet Lemon and Herb Ricotta Sauce
Preparation:
- For the sauce: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet. Add drained capers and Sonoma Gourmet Lemon and Herb Ricotta Sauce. Lower the heat, add fresh lemon juice and whisk everything. Let it simmer for 30 seconds for the sauce and remove from heat. Set sauce aside.
- For the Tilapia: Pat dry tilapia filets really well.
- In a plate or a wide bowl mix flour, salt, garlic and pepper.
- Coat tilapia filets with the flour mixture on both sides.
- Heat Sonoma Gourmet Lemon and Herb Olive Oil in a non-stick pan. Place tilapia filets in medium- hot oil. Cook for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the fish from the pan and carefully place it on the serving plate.
- Serve pan-fried tilapia, spoon lemon caper sauce on top, and garnish with chopped parsley.
- Pro-Tip: If not serving right away, place the cooked fish on wire rack to prevent it from getting soggy.
