Baked Tilapia and Tomatoes

March 14, 2014 by Katie Leave a Comment

It’s Lent again, which means lots of people are looking for more delicious meatless meals  to add to their repertoire.  This super easy tilapia recipe is perfect for a Friday night after a long week at work.  All you have to do in combine all your ingredients, pour it over the fish, and put it in the oven.  So simple!

I (accidentally) left the EVOO out of this recipe, but it still came out great.  Feel free to add a couple of tablespoons of it to the tomato mixture if you’d like though! I also only used 2 filets since it’s just me and my husband.  But don’t worry – there is definitely enough sauce to make 4 filets.

I served my fish over pearled couscous.  It was the first time I made pearl couscous.  I’ve had it before oddly enough only at buffets.  I really like the consistency of it though.  It’s sort of fun!  It definitely takes longer to cook than your standard 5 minute couscous though, so if you’re really in a rush, go with the normal kind.

Start by preheating your oven to 350°…

  • Mince up 2 cloves of garlic.

image

  • Pour 1 small can of diced tomatoes flavored with basil, garlic, and oregano into a small bowl.

image

  • Add the garlic.

image

  • Pour in ½ teaspoon dried oregano.

image

  • Add ¼ teaspoon salt.

image

  • Add about the same amount of freshly ground black pepper.

image

  • Add most of the juice from ½ of a lemon.  (Save a little!)

image

  • Mix well to combine everything.

image

  • Spread a little bit of the tomato mixture on the bottom of a baking dish.

image

  • Place two tilapia filets on top.

image

  • Squeeze the remaining lemon juice on to the fish.

image

  • Pour the remaining tomato mixture over the fish.

image

  • Bake until opaque and cooked through, anywhere from 20-30 minutes.

image

  • While the fish bakes, chop up a little parsley.

image

  • Sprinkle the parsley on top of the fish.

image

Serve the fish over pearl (or regular) couscous.

Enjoy!
