Ingredients

8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 shallots, thinly sliced
1 large head radicchio (about 12 ounces), coarsely chopped
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup fish broth
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 (5 to 6-ounce) whitefish fillets, such as tilapia
All-purpose flour, for dredging
Lemon Vinaigrette, recipe follows

Directions

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the radicchio and saute until wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the beans and broth, and cook until the beans are heated through, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Season the radicchio mixture, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a 14-inch (or 2 smaller) nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the fillets with salt and pepper. Dredge the fillets in flour to coat completely. Shake of the excess flour and fry 3 fillets in each pan until they are golden brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.

Spoon the radicchio mixture over the center of the plates. Top with the fillets. Drizzle the vinaigrette over and serve immediately.

Lemon Vinaigrette:

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh Italian parsley leaves
2 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Blend the lemon juice, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a blender. With the machine running, gradually blend in the oil. Season the vinaigrette, to taste, with more salt and pepper.

Excellent Fish Dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had printed this recipe a long time ago. The stars finally aligned and I was able to make it. Raddichio is not always... available in my grocery. I could not find fish broth, so used chicken broth. I was a little worried about the bitterness of the raddichio, but once everything was put together, I found the combination delicious. I used some of the left-over vinaigrette on some steamed asparagus. Tasty! Read more

Favorite Tilapia Dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make this recipe at least once a month. Always gets raves from my family. The presentation is wonderful because of the... colors, green dressing and red greens so it is perfect for company. For the dressing, I use whatever green herb that I have on hand - basil, dill, cilantra or parsley. Dill is my favorite, but each one is great. Gina's recipes are consistenly great and much lighter than many other recipes on Food Network Read more

Very flavorful healthy meal
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I 've made this meal three times for my family. The first time my 16 year old son thought it was a little bitter. However,... the next time I made it with red cabbage instead and it was wonderful the whole family just loved it. The third time I made it with a regular green cabage and the taste was just as good. Like others the only thing I did differently was used chicken broth. We are starting to eat healthier as a family and this is will definitely be apart of our healthy life style change.

FANTASTIC!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had to make a few substitutions for ingredients I couldn't find, but the recipe was delicious! My husband always complains... that fish meals don't fill him up, but in combination with the beans in this recipe, he left the table happy and full! The children (ages 3 and 18 months) even ate it up! No leftovers this time!Read more
