Ingredients
2 Tilapia filets2 dashes of salt2 dashes of pepper1 tbsp Olive Oil1/2 cup Balsamic vinegar3 cloves garlic (minced)2 Tbsp light margarine
In a small sauce pan over a medium heat stir fry garlic until soft. Add Balsamic and stir occasionally until the balsamic is reduced to a syrupy consistancy.
Heat a skillet to a medium heat and add remaining olive oil, salt and pepper both sides of the tilapia filets to taste. Add filets to pan and sear, 3 - 5 minutes on each side until golden.
As the fish is finishing on the second side add the butter to the balsamic sauce, I add in around 1/4 tbsp at a time and stir so that it melts evenly. You can add more butter if you like, but I think it's pretty good w/just 2 tbsp. You can also add fat free half and half for a creamier version.
Serve out the fish and top with the sauce, it's also great over any side vegetables.
