Here is another recipe from Mediterranean night at cooking club. This is what I brought. It was delicious, and not hard to make at all! I had never cooked with capers, but now that I have a huge jar from Costco, I think I will use them more often! haha This recipe is so easy. You cook the fish in a pan with olive oil and then top it with a lemon caper sauce that you simmer over medium low heat for 20 minutes. The sauce has a perfect flavor, and was perfect for cooking club and for This Mommy Cooks too!

While sauce simmers, heat a large non-stick skillet with one tablespoon olive oil. Season flour with salt and pepper to taste, dredge tilapia in flour mixture and add to pan. Cook 4 – 5 minutes per side, dependent on how thick your tilapia is, until the meat is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Top tilapia with sauce and feta cheese.
