6 tilapia fillets
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
1/2 cup butter, 4-oz (1 stick)
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons pepper
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, peeled and cut into segments
3 tablespoons capers (optional)

1
Rinse fillets and pat dry. In small bowl combine flour, salt, pepper and thyme. Pour the dry mixture out onto a plate and dredge each fillet, lightly covering all surfaces; set aside. Cut stick butter into 1 oz. pats; set aside.
2
Heat 1/3 of oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 2 fillets (or more, just don't crowd skillet surface) in skillet and saute for several minutes on each side. Remove fillets from skillet, place on plate, and sprinkle with 1/3 parsley. Set in your oven as the remaining heat of fillet will crisp the fresh parsley. Repeat until all fillets are cooked.
3
Pour off the oil and wipe skillet dry. Return skillet to heat and begin melting butter, 1 oz at a time until bubbling hot, but not brown. Quickly add the lemon juice and slices (capers if using); stir gently in the skillet until combined and warm. Pour over fillets and serve.
