Ingredients

• 4 pieces tilapia fillets
• 4 pieces prosciutto slices
• 8 leaves fresh sage leaves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Place a sage leaf on top of each fillet and wrap the entire fillet with a slice of prosciutto, ensuring that the sage leaf is held in place. Gently press to secure the prosciutto.

Step 3

Lightly dust each prosciutto-wrapped fillet with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until the butter has melted and begins to bubble.

Step 5

Add two fillets to the skillet, seam-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the fish is cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Repeat with the remaining olive oil, butter, and fillets.

Step 6

Once all the fillets are cooked, deglaze the skillet by adding the lemon juice. Stir to release any browned bits stuck to the pan, creating a quick pan sauce.

Step 7

Drizzle the lemon-butter sauce over the fillets before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a light salad. Enjoy!
