Recipe for Tilapia with Fresh Dill and Italian Parsley

Growing fresh herbs in the garden is a lot more fun when you cook with them.  There is nothing like the pride in a meal prepared with fresh herbs from your own garden.  I came across a great recipe I'd like to share with you for tilapia using fresh dill and Italian parsley from the garden.  This is a healthy, low-calorie recipe that really showcases your fresh herbs. 


Tilapia with Fresh Dill and Italian Parsley

Ingredients:
6 tsp whole wheat flour, divided
1 tsp Mrs. Dash Salt Free Seasoning
Large zip-top bag
5-6 sprigs fresh Italian Parsley
3-4 sprigs fresh Dill
1 Lemon
1 lb tilapia fillets
3TBS butter divided
1/4 cup white wine
 
 Steps
1. Place 5 teaspoons flour and seasoned salt in zip-top bag; shake to mix and set aside. Chop (rinsed) parsley and dill coarsely and measure (2 tablespoons of each). Slice (rinsed) lemon in half. Set both aside.
2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Check fish for bones by pressing on fillet with finger tips and remove. Add fish to zip-top bag; seal tightly and shake to coat. Wash hands.
3. Place 1 tablespoon butter in pan and swirl to coat. Add fish (wash hands) and cook 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter to center of pan. Turn fillets, using spatula, distributing butter under each fillet. Cook 3 more minutes until fish is golden and flakes easily. Place fish on serving plates.
4. Place remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon flour, wine and juice from lemon in sauté pan. Heat 1–2 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally. Stir parsley and dill  into butter sauce and serve over fish.
