Sauteed Tilapia

You can use this technique to cook almost any fish filet.

4 servings

4 (4 oz) tilapia filets (I buy the frozen bag at Costco), thawed
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp butter

Quick-thaw the filets - place in a bowl of cold water.  Change the water every 5 minutes until thawed.

Heat skillet on medium-high.  Add butter; heat until melted and bubbles have stopped (but before it starts to brown).  Add olive oil and heat 20-30 seconds.

Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper.  Place in hot oil.  Cook a few minutes until lightly browned; they are ready to flip when the release easily from pan.  Repeat on other side.

Cover pan.  Turn off heat.  Let sit on warm burner for a few minutes to gently cook fish all the way through.  Fish is done when it flakes easily.
