Sauteed Tilapia with Almonds and Cherries



You will need:

1 Tbsp almonds, sliced
1 pound raw tilapia, four 4 oz fillets
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
3 tsp olive oil, extra-virgin, divided
1 small onion(s), chopped
2 Tbsp wine, dry white
1/2 cup cherries, sweet, pitted, halved
1/3 cup vegetable broth, reduced-sodium, fat-free
1/2 tsp dried thyme


Toast the almonds in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-low heat until golden, shaking the pan often, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Season fish with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in the skillet, then add the fish. Cook until firm and lightly browned, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook about 2 more minutes. Remove fish to four serving plates.
Heat the remaining teaspoon of oil in the skillet, then add the onion. Cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the wine; loosen any browned bits of food on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook for 20 seconds, then add the cherries, broth and thyme. Heat until simmering; cook for 30 seconds to reduce slightly. Divide the sauce and toasted almonds among the fish. Serve at once.
