Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces tilapia fillets
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sheets aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long, and set them aside.
In a medium bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, feta cheese, parsley, red onion, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels.
Place one tilapia fillet in the center of each foil sheet.
Divide the Mediterranean vegetable mixture evenly over the top of the tilapia fillets.
Fold the sides of the foil up and over the tilapia, then seal the foil tightly to create a packet. Make sure there are no gaps to trap the steam inside.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tilapia is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the packets to release the steam, and serve hot directly from the foil for a no-fuss presentation.
