I found this posted online and made it right away. This is sooooo easy to prepare and tastes DELICIOUS! Next time I make it, I'm going to toss in some minced garlic with the tomatoes, I believe. It had a bit too much liquid to it, but I just sprinkled some over the fish and enjoyed it.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, fresh smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.

  • Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help prevent the tilapia from sticking and breaking apart.
  • Season the tilapia to taste: You can season the tilapia with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other herbs and spices that you like.
  • Serve the tilapia with your favorite sides: Tilapia is a versatile fish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include rice, pasta, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
