Pan-Seared Tilapia With Chile Lime Butter

Pan-Seared Tilapia With Chile Lime Butter
I've been seeing this one around on several sites and I finally tried it out and thought I would pass it along. I used I Can't Believe It's Not Butter instead of the unsalted Butter that was in the original recipe along with using Sea Salt instead of Salt and Extra Virgin Olive Oil over Corn Oil. Turned out delicious!

Ingredients:

    * 1/4 Cup I Can't Believe It's Not Butter (Stick), softened
    * 1 Tablespoon finely chopped Shallot, Substitute with Minced Garlic if preferred
    * 1 Teaspoon finely grated fresh Lime Zest
    * 2 Teaspoons fresh Lime Juice
    * 1 Teaspoon minced fresh Serrano Chili, including seeds
    * 1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt


For Tilapia

    * 6 (5 ounce) skinless Tilapia Fillets
     * 1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt, to taste
    * Ground Pepper, to taste
   * 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

   1.  Make Chile Lime Butter:.
   2.  Stir together Butter, Shallot, Zest, Lime Juice, Chile and Salt in a bowl.
   3.  Prepare Fish:.
   4.  Pat Fish dry and sprinkle with Salt.
   5.  Heat 1 tablespoon Oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until just smoking.
   6.  Saute 3 pieces of Fish, using a spatula to turn once, until golden and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.
   7.  Transfer to a plate and saute remaining fish in same manner.
