Oven Baked Tilapia with Summer Tomato Salad
My family and I eat a lot of fish. It’s a great way to make a simple healthy meal in minutes. The biggest mistake people seem to make with fish is that they over cook it. You are better off undercooking fish and having to put it back on the grill or back in the over for a minute or two then over cooking it.
This recipe is great all by itself but with the fresh tomato salad over it, it’s nothing short of amazing. If you don’t generally like fish, this recipe could change your mind. If you’re positive you don’t like fish, then try the tomato salad over grilled chicken or steak. If you are looking to make this a little lighter, omit the butter and add a little extra olive oil.
Ingredients
- 6 Tilapia Filets
- 2 lemons sliced in half
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 3 Tablespoons of cold butter cut into small cubes
- 1/3 Cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- Seasoned Salt
- Fresh ground pepper
- ½ Tablespoon dried oregano
- Pam
Directions
Preheat over to 400 degrees
Cover a cookie sheet with foil. Spray the sheet with Pam. Place fish filets on the sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Squeeze the lemons over the fish and season with seasoned salt and pepper. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the fish to coat the fish, then top with small cubes of cut butter. Sprinkle with oregano and place into the oven with the rack on the second highest level.
Bake for around 8 minutes then shut the oven and turn on the broiler and broil for about 2 minutes until golden brown.
Remove fish and top with cold tomato salad and serve. Click here for the tomato salad recipe.
