Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the linguine

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until just tender, 9 to 11 minutes. Drain the linguine, then return the linguine to the pot and toss with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil to prevent sticking.

While the linguine is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients and cook the tilapia.

2

Prep the remaining ingredients; cook the tilapia

  • Trim the root ends from the baby broccoli.
  • Rinse the capers.
  • Juice the lemon. [Juice both lemons.]
  • In a small bowl or cup, mix the seafood broth concentrate with ½ cup [1 cup] warm water and stir to combine.
  • Pat the tilapia dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper.

On a plate or in a shallow bowl, spread the flour. Dredge the tilapia in the flour, turning to coat; shake off any excess.

In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the tilapia and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.

3

Cook the baby broccoli; make the piccata sauce

In the same pan used for the tilapia, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the baby broccoli, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Reduce the heat to medium, add the shallot-garlic confit to the pan, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring occasionally. Stir in the capers and seafood broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the lemon-garlic herb butter and stir until melted into the sauce. Remove from the heat and stir in half the lemon juice. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice if desired.

Serve

Transfer the baby broccoli and linguine to individual plates. Top the linguine with the tilapia, spoon over the piccata sauce, and serve.
