I came up with this when I needed to make dinner in 20 minutes and all I had was defrosted tilapia. It's low in fat but high in flavor! Ingredients:
2 tilapia fillets |
1 small tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped |
4 tablespoons green olives, pitted and coarsely chopped |
1/3 red bell pepper, finely diced |
1 -2 garlic clove, minced |
4 tablespoons red onions, finely diced |
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 sprig fresh thyme |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
salt |
pam cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Spray Pam on a shallow baking dish and arrange the fillets (skin sides down) that have been seasoned with salt. Bake for 10 minutes, uncovered.
3. In the meantime, heat oil on a frying pan, and sauté the red onion and red bell pepper for a few minutes. When slightly tender, add the tomatoes, green olives, garlic, thyme, and black pepper. Cook a few minutes until of desired consistency and add lemon juice and cumin to mix well.
4. Place this mixture on top of fish, and continue baking the fish for 10-15 minutes longer, until it flakes easily with a fork.
5. Serve with rice or couscous.
