Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
1 large onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat bottom of a medium baking dish with about 1/4 cup olive oil.
  • In a small bowl, blend remaining olive oil, tomato paste, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper.
  • Arrange tilapia fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin side up. With a spatula, spread the olive oil and tomato paste mixture over the tilapia, heaping the majority in the centers of the fillets. Arrange onion and green pepper slices on and around the fillets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven 15 minutes, until fish is easily flaked with a fork. Remove from heat, top each fillet with 1 tablespoon butter, and set oven to broil. Broil 5 to 7 minutes, until butter is melted and lightly brown.

This recipe was a disaster! The tilapia was overcooked and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The tilapia was a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a different cooking method, such as pan-frying or grilling.

This was my first time making tilapia and it turned out great! The recipe was easy to follow and the fish was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a winner. The tilapia is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is so good I could drink it! I usually serve it with rice or quinoa.

The tilapia was moist and flaky, and the sauce was flavorful without being overpowering. I served it with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes, and it was a perfect meal.

This baked tilapia recipe was a hit with my family! The fish was cooked perfectly and the lemon-herb butter sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
