- Pat the tilapia fillets dry before cooking. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a crispy crust.
- Season the tilapia fillets generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
- Cook the tilapia fillets over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Cook the tilapia fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the tilapia fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for tilapia include rice, vegetables, and salad.

Garlic and tomato tilapia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with garlic, tomatoes, and white wine, and it is served over rice or vegetables. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
