Tilapia in Garlic sauce



Here's a nice recipe for pan-fried tilapia with a garlic sauce:

1/3 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, cut into thin slices
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried red-pepper flakes
2 tablespoons butter
1 pound tilapia fillet (patted dry on paper towel)
3 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
Heat oil in a large frying pan over moderate heat. When the oil is hot, add tilapia fillets and panfry till crispy on both sides. Remove crispy fish. Add butter to the pan with the garlic, bay leaf and red-pepper flakes and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the sherry, lemon juice and parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Pour over crispy fish and serve immediately.
