salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 (4 ounce) jar capers, drained and rinsed
Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper on all sides. Dredge in flour and shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and pan-fry tilapia until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. While tilapia is cooking, bring cream to a boil in a second skillet and season with salt and nutmeg. Add tilapia and capers. Simmer until cream thickens, about 5 minutes.
