Dad's Fish Francaise.

I was speaking with my father about a meyer lemon olive oil that I purchased for use with fish, & he said, "OH! I made a really great fish recently!"

So, we gave that a shot tonight. Here's the recipe. We deemed it a keeper. & it's quick too!

Dad's Fish Francaise
4 fillets mahi mahi (or tilapia or other white fish)
30-45 capers
1 or 1/2 stick of butter
Juice of a whole lemon

Put the butter into the skillet & melt over medium heat. Add the capers. Squeeze in your lemon juice. Heat the sauce until it bubbles. Lay the fish in the pan. When the edges of the fish turn white, flip it. After 2-3 more minutes, take the pan off the heat & let it set for a few minutes. When it's time to plate, you can either do it family style - Let the fish & sauce slide off the pan onto a platter - or you can take your chances on flipping the fish individually onto plates.

DEEElish.

We paired ours with an arugula salad (with meyer lemon balsamic viniagrette, cranberries, and goat cheese - SPLURGE!), steamed carrots, and saffron rice.

And for dessert - Apple Pear Crisp!
