Instructions:
1. Rinse defrosted tilapia under cold water and pat dry.

2. On medium high, heat olive oil and butter in a large frying pan.

3. When butter is fragrant, arrange lightly dredged tilapia in pan and sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper, and allow to cook for ~ 7 min or until golden brown on bottom.

* Tip: Lightly shake pan back and forth to ensure fish doesn’t stick after about 3 min of cooking. Don’t move fish around more than you have to…It will break apart.

4. Using a large spatula, flip fish over, sprinkle freshly cracked black peppper, and cook until golden brown – ~ 4-5 min.

5. About 3 min before fish is finished, add capers, without juice, and shake in pan with fish.
