Make
- Whisk salad dressing and adjust to taste - add some honey or oil if too tart.
- Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add first part of butter. Once butter melts, sear fillets in batches for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until flaky and golden. Set fish aside and return pan to heat.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining butter to the hot pan. Once butter melts and begins to sizzle, add flour and stir until a thick paste forms. Slowly add white wine, whisking vigorously until smooth. Heat until sauce begins to simmer and allow to continue cooking ~2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in chives and juice from half the lemon. Season with salt and pepper.
- Crumble goat cheese over spinach, strawberries and almonds. Toss with dressing.
- Serve tilapia with lemon-chive butter sauce over the top and extra lemon wedges. Enjoy with salad on the side!
