Mediterranean Tilapia

Description

We had some beautiful tilapia fillets, but no recipes! I had recently bought some amazing sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, and decided to invent a slightly Mediterranean fish dish for a quick weeknight dinner. My husband is a recipe purist, always follows them to the letter, but after this, he’s learned to trust my inventions!

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained
  • 2 tilapia fillets
  • 1 tablespoon oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl
  2. stir together the sun-dried tomatoes
  3. olives and capers. Set aside.
  4. Place the tilapia fillets side by side in a baking dish. Drizzle with oil and lemon juice.
  5. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven
  6. until the fish flakes with a fork. Check after 10 minutes
  7. so as not to overcook
  8. or the fish may be dry. When fish is done
  9. top with the tomato mixture
  10. and serve.
