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.

Before buying the Tilapias for this meal I recommend you to take a look to this comparison Buying Fish Online Vs From Supermarket.
