OVEN ROASTED TILAPIA WITH TOMATOES, PESTO AND LEMON
Looking for something impressive but oh so easy? This simple and delicious dish would make a great 'date night' dinner or even doubled for a dinner party. Tilapia is a really mild fish without that 'fishy' taste making this a great recipe for people who do not like fish and a wonderful meal for those who do! Pesto and tomatoes are so lovely and aromatic together and roasting allows the flavors to intensify. What a simple way to create an incredibly delicious dish. In order to soak up every delicious drop I would serve this over a simple rice like my Recipe#137364 or serve it with a good crusty bread. Adding a simple green salad and a wonderful bottle of wine would make this meal totally rock! I would serve it with Chateau Ste Michele Dry Riesling. I found this recipe on http://ellysaysopa.com/2008/03/03/fish-for-people-who-dont-like-fish/ Of course I did change up a few things that I thought would make it even better. My mouth was watering so much when I read this recipe that I had to share it with you as fast as I could! If you try this before I get to the store and am able to make it please let me know what you think! After Breezermom's helpful comment I edited the directions for the pesto and lemon juice so the pesto is not runny. Thanks breezer!

Steps:
- Gently combine the tomatoes, garlic and olive oil with a little salt and pepper if desired and roast in a preheated 425 degree oven for about 10 minutes.
- Juice the lemon and mix SOME of the juice with the pesto, adding more if desired or needed keeping the pesto a nice spreadable consistency and not runny. (Thanks breezer mom!) Spread mixture on top of the fish which has been seasoned with a little more salt and pepper if desired.
- Cut the juiced lemon halves in half again so that you have two pieces of lemon to support each filet. Place a filet on top of two pieces of juiced lemon so that the fish is somewhat out of any liquid that accumulates, allowing it to roast rather than boil.
- Return to oven for about 10 minutes or until the fish is flaky and no longer opaque.
- Plate the fish along with the tomatoes and garlic and serve with more lemon wedges if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl.

- Meanwhile, toss the tomatoes, olives, capers and garlic with 1 teaspoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1 teaspoon thyme in a bowl. Coat another baking sheet with cooking spray; add the tomato mixture and spread in an even layer. Roast until softened, 15 minutes.
- Mix the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon thyme, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl; brush on the fish. Place the fish on top of the roasted tomato mixture and return to the oven until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Divide among plates and serve with the potatoes.

Tips:
- Choose fresh tilapia fillets: Look for firm, plump fillets with no signs of discoloration or off odors.
- Use ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes will add sweetness and flavor to the dish. If you don't have ripe tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes instead.
- Make your own pesto: Freshly made pesto is always best, but you can also use store-bought pesto if you're short on time.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Make sure the tilapia fillets are evenly spaced in the baking dish so that they cook evenly.
- Roast the tilapia until it is cooked through: The tilapia is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork. It should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Conclusion:
Oven-roasted tilapia with tomatoes, pesto, and lemon is a delicious and healthy weeknight meal. It's easy to make and packed with flavor. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also experiment with different flavors by using different types of pesto or vegetables. For example, you could use a basil pesto or a sun-dried tomato pesto. You could also add other vegetables to the baking dish, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or onions.
