Baked Tilapia

This is for my favorite Fly Momma on a Budget, Lisa...

Ingredients:

2 lbs tilapia fillets
juice of 1 lime
1 can of diced tomatoes, drained
3 Tablespoons chopped black olives
1 clove minced garlic
Tony Chachere's
Black pepper
EVOO
chopped parsley

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix together drained can of diced tomatoes, minced garlic and black olives.  Set aside
Rinse tilapia fillets and pat dry.
Spray a glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Place fish on the dish.  Drizzle a small amount of EVOO over fish and season lightly with Tony Chachere's, black pepper.
Top fish with tomato, olive, garlic mixture.
Then squeeze juice of lime over it all.  Watch out for the seeds!  I just squeeze it through my fingers to catch the seeds.
Cover dish tightly with foil and bake approximately 10-12 minutes.
After it's cooked, top with chopped parsley.

Easy, right???

Serve with rice or pasta.  Don't forget steamed veggies!!!!

If you like capers and want a bit more of a bite to the tomato mixture, toss in a teaspoon of capers as well.
