Balsamic Browned Butter over Tilapia Fillets

Recipe #321088 | 20 min | 5 min prep | add private note

This recipe comes from the queen of tasty, fast and simple-to-prepare meals - Rachel Ray. We could eat this every day (if it weren't for the butter!)

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Salt and pepper the fish and dredge in the flour. Shake off any extra flour.
  2. 2
    Heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. 3
    Pan fry the fish for 4 minutes per side.
  4. 4
    Remove fish and set aside, but keep it warm.
  5. 5
    Brown the butter slowly over medium heat.
  6. 6
    Add balsamic vinegar.
  7. 7
    Simmer until volume reduces by half. It should be somewhat like a syrup, but not that thick.
  8. 8
    Pour over tilapia fillets and serve immediately.
  9. 9
    Healthier Ideas: Try baking the tilapia for less fat. (Not sure what to suggest about the butter! LOL!).

This was excellent! Tia took out the extra effort it usually takes for a Rachael Ray recipe. Love many of Rachael's recipes but her ingredient list normally includes everything she uses to make the main course along with a side or two so it was nice to find this recipe drilled down to only the tilapia dish ingredients. Only change I made was, in addition to salting and peppering the tilapia lightly, I also added a little more salt and pepper to the flour along with a little garlic powder. Just the way it's always been done in my family and it worked well with this. Thanks Tia!

    I am NOT a Rachel fan but I really love this recipe so I have to give credit where credit is due! The browned butter and vinegar make a terrific sauce, so easy, and tastes absolutely amazing.

    My husband and I LOVED this! This is the only way he wants me to cook fish now. As for the butter, just use light butter to cut down on some of the calories. I used Land O' Lakes Light Butter with Canola Oil. It has half the calories of regular butter, but still tastes DELICIOUS!
