Here is another entirely doable Fish recipe due to the addition of Flavor! I pair this with the Broccoli with Brown Butter and Almonds side dish for 3 additional points and actually feel Full. You could probably shave off a point by substituting a light butter in place of regular, but what's one point? Just kidding. I find that the light butter seems to have a higher water content/consistency, so it might thin out the balsamic butter sauce in this one.
I have no idea why this recipe card I picked up from my local grocery store says approximate in parentheses under nutrtional information, but it does. It seems to come out correctly points wise for me when I Figure out the points for each individual ingredient. Maybe it depends on how much of the sauce you take in with the fish.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. minced shallot
1 garlic clove, minced
3 Tbsp. butter
4 (6-oz) tilapia filets
1 Tbsp olive oil
Directions:
For the sauce, combine the vinegar, honey, shallot, and garlic and bring to boiling over medium-high heat in a small sauce pan. Reduce heat to medium and cook 5 minutes stirring occasionally or until slightly thickened. Whish in butter 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring each addition until melted. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper to taste. In a large nonstick skillet heat oil over medium heat 1 minute or until hot. Add the fillets to hot oil in skillet and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer fillets to a serving platter and drizzle with sauce. It's ready to serve!
