Tomato Basil Tilapia

I have been busy, and have not been able to post some of the new recipes I have tried, but I am hoping to get a few up today.

Here's a good recipe I have tried many times.  If you like fish, this is really simple and quick to make.  I serve this with some seasoned rice, and put some of the drippings from the fish onto the rice.

I borrowed it from Paula Dean over on Food Network:


Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 (8-ounce) tilapia fillets
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil leaves
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano leaves
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a shallow 1-quart baking dish with nonstick spray.
Sprinkle the fish evenly with salt and pepper. Arrange the tilapia in a baking dish and sprinkle evenly with basil, oregano, onion powder and garlic. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Arrange the tomato slices evenly over the fish, and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake until fish flakes easily with fork, about 20 to 25 minutes. Squeeze the lemon juice over fish and serve immediately.
