My sister made this for our family this past Christmas and it is very good. The best part is that it's quick and simple to make. It's also healthy. Ingredients:
2 -4 large tilapia fillets |
2 lemons, wedged (more or less to taste) |
1 large tomato, diced (my sister uses cherry tomatoes) |
1/2 green pepper, diced |
1/2 white onion, diced |
olive oil |
Directions:
1. Combine diced tomato, green pepper and onion in a bowl and set aside.
2. In a non-stick pan, add olive oil and heat over med-low heat (lightly coat whole bottem of pan with oil, but not too much or you start frying)
3. Add tilapia fillets to pan and squeeze lemons all over them; add lemons to the pan.
4. Cover the pan and let fillets simmer. Adjust heat as necessary. I have had fillets take only 10 minutes to cook and others have taken 20 minutes. Check on the fillets with a fork. The fish should flake and fall apart when done.
5. About 5 minutes before fillets are done, spoon diced veggies onto fillets.
6. Cover and cook until done.
7. I always make extra diced veggies to add to my cook fillets later.
