Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cups Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with a small amount of olive oil.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Finely chop the garlic cloves and parsley. Coarsely chop the walnuts.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, walnuts, garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Spread the tomato and walnut mixture evenly over the top of each tilapia fillet.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the fillets and cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
Bake the tilapia for 15 minutes, then remove the aluminum foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is lightly golden.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the tilapia rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve each tilapia fillet with a generous spoonful of the tomato walnut mixture from the pan. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
