Poached Tilapia in Lemon Caper Sauce

Here's a very simple fish dish for the new year. It came together quickly last night for dinner and was really tasty. The sauce made the dish and it would be a lovely addition to salmon or trout filets, as well.

Happy New Year!! And may it be healthy and happy!
