Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 tilapia fillets (4 ounces each)
  • Olive oil-flavored cooking spray
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 small lemon, sliced
  • 1/2 medium lime, sliced
  • 1/2 small navel orange, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Place milk in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Dip fish in milk, then coat with flour mixture.
  2. Spray fillets with cooking spray. In a large nonstick skillet, cook fish over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove and keep warm.
  3. In the same pan, saute garlic in butter and oil for 1 minute. Add the lemon, lime and orange slices, juices and onions; cook 1 minute longer. Serve with fish.
