Ingredients

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon salt
4 tilapia fillets (4 ounces each)
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons butter, divided
1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons white wine or additional reduced-sodium chicken broth
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
2 cups hot cooked rice
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

In a shallow bowl, combine 1/4 cup flour and salt. Dip fillets in flour mixture.
In a large nonstick skillet, cook fillets in 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat until fish just begins to flake with a fork, 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, melt remaining 2 teaspoons butter. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon flour until smooth; gradually whisk in broth, wine and lemon juice. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in parsley. Serve fish and sauce with rice; garnish with almonds.
