Pan Sauteed Tilapia with a Sun Dried Tomato Sauce
"A delicious sauce over fish. I used Tilapia, but any white fish would work. Obviously, cooking times will vary depending on the type of fish you are using. It is a perfect weeknight dinner because it is so quick cooking."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Sun Dried Tomatoes ... Add the tomatoes to a small measuring cup along with the white wine. Cover and cook on high for one minute, but don't let it boil over. Remove from the microwave and keep covered for 5-10 minutes to re-constitute them.
Step 2
Tilapia ... Remove from the refrigerator to take the chill off and season with salt and pepper. In a medium size sauce pan, add the butter and bring to medium high heat. Add the tilapia and sear on both sides until slightly golden brown. Three (3)-4 minutes per side is all it takes. Tilapia is very quick cooking. Once the tilapia is done, remove to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Step 3
Sauce ... Add the shallots to the pan and saute on medium heat for 1 minutes. Then, add in the tomatoes along with the wine you cooked them in to the pan, stir well and continue to cook 3-4 minutes. Finish by adding the fish back in, the chicken broth (start with 1/4 cup; you can add it bit more if you like more sauce), parsley, basil and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Serve ... ENJOY over your favorite pasta or rice.
