Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler and place the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush both sides of the tilapia fillets with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt and black pepper.
Broil the tilapia in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the tilapia is cooking, prepare the tomato caper salsa: in a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, capers, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Once the tilapia is cooked, transfer each fillet to a serving plate and top generously with the tomato caper salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
