3/4 cup reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons drained green peppercorns in brine, lightly crushed
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
12 ounces tilapia fillets or 12 ounces sole fillets

While butter melts, sprinkle fish fillets with salt and black pepper.
4
Place the flour in a shallow dish.

Dredge fillets in flour; shake off excess flour.

Increase heat to medium-high; heat 2 minutes or until butter turns golden brown. Add fillets to pan; saute 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove fillets from pan. Add broth mixture to pan, scraping to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat.

Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
