Instructions
Grate zest from lemons to equal 4 tsp.
Cut lemons in half; squeeze juice from lemons into a measuring cup to equal 2 Tbsp.
Combine panko, paprika, and 2 tsp. lemon zest in a shallow dish.
Sprinkle fish with 1 tsp. salt. Dip fish in 1/4 cup melted butter; dredge in panko mixture, pressing panko to adhere.
Place fish on a lightly greased rack in an aluminum foil-lined broiler pan.
Drizzle remaining 2 Tbsp. melted butter over fish.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork.
Meanwhile, prepare pasta according to package directions. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add onion, and saut 5 to 6 minutes or until golden.
Add garlic, and cook 1 minute.
Add tomatoes, and cook 5 to 6 minutes or until tomato mixture begins to thicken. Stir in 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. capers, and remaining 2 tsp. lemon zest and 1 tsp. salt; cook 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove from heat, and toss with hot cooked pasta, feta cheese, and basil.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine
Tilapian on the menu? Try pairing with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Chehalem 3 Vineyard Pinot Gris with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.
