Tilapia with Capers and Lemon Sauce

I am trying to add more fish to our dinners and Tilapia is a very mild fish that presumably could be accepted by kids' palates. I made two versions of this dish---the "adult" version as the recipe reads below and the "kid" version, which essentially was plain tilapia fillet salted and sauteed in butter. The kids ate it, but not enthusiastically. I personally enjoyed the lemon caper sauce- it's yummy! And the crushed chili pepper gives it a bit of "kick".


Tilapia with Capers and Lemon Sauce
 
2 pieces tilapia fillet
1 teaspoon crushed chili pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons capers, drained
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons milk or cream
salt and pepper to taste

Season tilapia fillet with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. In a pan, melt 2 tbls of butter over medium heat. Brown tilapia fillet on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside on warm plate.
In the same pan, deglaze with wine and juice of 1/2 lemon. Cook until reduced to half. Add capers and milk or cream. Cook until simmering. Pour over fish and serve with vegetables. Enjoy!
