Pan Seared Talapia with Browned Butter Lemon Sauce

Okay, I know fish is good for you because it is full of heart healthy Omega - 3s. And, because it is so good for you I want to increase the amount of it I eat. Unfortunately, when I cook fish it is hit or miss. Truth be told, seafood is the ingredient that I am most uncomfortable with in the kitchen. I have a tendency to over cook it. I order fish at restaurants more than I cook it at home and I want that to change. I am very pleased with my first attempt at this new recipe. Even my husband liked it - which is a really big deal when it comes to fish.
