Tilapia Piccata with Mushrooms

jump to recipe

Currently trending: easy summer dinner recipes. This non-traditional piccata dish can easily fall under that category. It is a fast and easy yet elegant dish that can be created in just a short 30 minutes! It is the perfect meal for all of those lemon and pasta lovers!

‍

This dish is typically served with chicken as the main protein source and the great thing about this recipe is that it still can be! I love this recipe not only because it is an easy crowd pleaser, but I made sure that it was customizable as well. The mushrooms can easily be eliminated for people who do not enjoy them and the fish can easily changed to chicken. I opted to do the fish option because tilapia has a mild flavor and it soaks up all of the lemon juices, garlic and capers really well to make for an extremely flavorful dish.
