Brown Butter Sauce for Fish

Picked up some Talapia at the market yesterday and while having a bit of London nostalgia decided to have it with a Brown Butter Sauce similar to what we have at one of the fish restaurants we used to go to:

Fry the fish fillets (or steaks) on both sides in a bit of olive oil. Splash in two tblsps of white vinegar, two tblsps of lemon juice, two tblsps of good white wine (save the rest to go with dinner!), two tblsps of capers, and cook until most of the liquid disappears. Mash two anchovies (the salted ones in oil, NOT the pickled ones) (use more or less anchovies to taste) and add to the pan. Finally add two to four tblsps of butter and cook until foamy and slightly browned.

Serve with a salad, some fresh bread and some really good tomatoes (we hate peach colored tomatoes!) drizzled with good olive oil and sea salt. The whole thing takes minutes to make and is lovely!
