Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3/4 cup fat-free chicken broth

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoons drained brine-packed green peppercorns -- lightly crushed

1 teaspoon butter

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

12 ounces tilapia or sole fillet -- 2 - 6 ounce fillets

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon butter

Lemon wedges (optional)

Combine first 3 ingredients.

Melt 1 teaspoon of butter with oil in a large nonstick skillet over low heat.

While butter melts, sprinkle fish fillets with salt and black pepper. 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; sauté 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. Stir in one teaspoons of butter with a whisk. Serve sauce over fillets. Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired.

Description:

"This piquant sauce is perfect over plain white fish. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest flavor. Serve with white rice"
