    Here’s a simple and flavorful fish recipe for Tilapia Piccata. It’s a classic recipe that can be made in under 30 minutes.

    This Tilapia Piccata dish is a twist on the classic Italian Veal Piccata recipe so it’s not exactly an original recipe. It just tastes good and I thought you should be aware of such a delicious and easy recipe. I have added options for those following a dairy free, gluten free or autoimmune protocol diet.

    For some reason, I never used to cook fish. Looking back, it seems foolish. Fish is healthy and shockingly quick and easy to prepare. This classic and super flavorful recipe can be made in less than 30 minutes. Add a veggie and rice then you’ve got a meal, fast!

    I usually cook with extra virgin olive oil but this recipe needs oil with a high smoking point. Clarified butter would be ideal as it won’t dry out in the pan but will also impart an amazingly rich butter flavor. I ended up using lard. There are other oils that are healthier than lard but due to my food restrictions, this was the best option. Also, I’ve been using a grass-fed tallow that is quite flavorful compared to the heavily processed (and flavorless) lard I found sold by the pound in the regular grocery stores. I found the grass-fed tallow at Whole Foods and Sprouts but you can also get it online. It’s a good option if you can’t have dairy, like myself, but still want big flavor. If you're going for healthy, stick with coconut or avocado oil.
