Ingredients
Directions
Tilapia fillets, x 21 clove of garlic, peeled2 tbsp of capers, drained4 small gherkins, drained and finely chopped2 good-quality anchovy fillets, finely choppedSome fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely choppedSome fresh basil, leaves picked and finely chopped2 tbspf fresh mint, leaves picked and finely chopped0.5 tablespoon Dijon mustardSome red wine vinegar (quantity varies)2.5 tbsp good-quality extra virgin olive oil0.5 tbsp buttersea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Put the fish fillets into a clean plastic bag and season nicely with salt and pepper and a small handful of flour. Toss around until all the fillets are well coated.
Heat half tbsp of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and quickly but carefully put your fillets in so they all cook at the same time. Cook for a couple of minutes until beautifully golden, then, starting with the fillet that went in first, turn them all over.
Once you’ve done that, add the butter to colour and flavour the fillets. Cook for no more than another 2 minutes. When the fillets are golden on both sides, remove the pan from the heat. Wait for 20 seconds before squeezing in the juice of ˝ the lemon and shaking the pan about, otherwise the lemon juice will burn black and ruin the whole thing.
Divide the fish fillets between your plates with some of the juices from the pan.
Meanwhile, to make your salsa verde, finely chop the garlic and put in a bowl. Add the capers, gherkins, anchovies, parsley, basil and mint. Mix in the mustard and 1 or 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, then 2 tbsp of olive oil, to make a loose mixture.
Balance the flavours with pepper and, if necessary, salt and a little more red wine vinegar.
