Tilapia with Sour Cream and Caper Sauce:

This is a 30min meal. Quick and super healthy! My husband some times needs a break of rice and potatoes, typical of Peruvian cuisine, so I have to come up with ideas to break away from the carbs every now and then. Following on my last fish meal posted on this blog, here is another Tilapia dish. Similar but uniquely yummy. Do not let the list of sauce ingredients intimidate you. You probably already have all of these ingredients in your pantry ;). I have to say that the mustard and capers really do provide a nice touch to the sauce.


Ingredients:

  • Tilapia (I used 5 fillets)
  • Broccoli 
  • Asparagus
  • Sour cream (1 cup)
  • White wine (1 cup)
  • Mustard (2 tablespoons)
  • Green onions
  • Capers (3 tablespoons)
  • Olive oil
  • Parsley
  • Garlic (half a tea spoon)
  • Lemon (1)
  • Salt and Pepper
Fish: Season the tilapia with lemon juice and black pepper. Put it in the oven for 350 degrees for 20 minutes. 

Veggies: You can use any veggies you like. I used broccoli and asparagus. Steam and serve. No seasoning needed. The sauce will do it all :)

Sauce: Heat olive oil and garlic. Add the chopped green onions or shallots. Stir. Add the wine and capers and let the wine boil a bit. Add mustard and parsley. Once the wine has reduced to half of what you initially put in, it is ready! Remove from heat and add the source cream. Stir until you get a yummy creamy sauce. (I added a tiny bit of salt)...and LISTO!! Enjoy!
