Baked Mediterranean Tilapia

This recipe came straight off the bag of frozen Costco tilapia.  So simple but delicious! I forgot to take a picture straight out of the oven so the one above is from Grandpa Plasterer's half-eaten plate.  The one to the left is what was left in the pan. Of course fresh basil and garlic are the best but if you don't have them you can make substitutions.





4 tilapia loins
1 large onion sliced 1/4" thick
2 medium tomatoes sliced 1/4" thick
4 T chopped fresh basil (or 2 T dried)
8 cloves of garlic, crushed
4 T olive oil
20 kalamata olives, chopped
1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
Saute onions in 2 T olive oil and put them in the bottom of a 9X13 glass casserole dish.
Place fish on top of onions then top with all the other ingredients. Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake at 400 degrees, uncovered for 15 minutes or until the tilapia is flaky.
