Ingredients:  
White fish (talapia is good actually, any fish that doesn't fall apart would work just fine), (3 to 4 ounces each) cleaned
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup minced shallots
2 tablespoons capers
2 lemons. juiced
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 stick butter, cut into cubes
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 cups assorted vegetables, blanched if needed (such as baby carrots, halved, thinly sliced squash, thinly sliced zucchini, thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced red onions, etc,)
Directions:
Directions:
Season the fish with salt and pepper. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge the fish in the flour, coating completely.
In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, saute the fish for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the fish from the pan and set aside.

Add the shallots and capers. Season with pepper. Saute for 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and wine. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the liquid reduces by half, about 6 to 8 minutes. Whisk in the butter, a cube at a time. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1 tablespoon of parsley.

Add the fish back into the sauce and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.

In another saute pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of the oil. When the oil is hot, add the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes.

To serve, spoon the vegetables in the center of each plate. Place the fish on top of the vegetables and spoon the sauce over the fish. Garnish with remaining parsley.

Excellent! Warning: This recipe takes a lot of cutting and chopping, so if you are a "guest" and we serve it, be prepared for Joe to hand you a French knife and a cutting board! It's really a wonderful group-effort meal that also requires a nice bottle of wine and lots of funny stories.
