MEDITERRANEAN TILAPIA

Steps:

EASY TILAPIA

Steps:

• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Drizzle fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place fillets in skillet and sprinkle with half of the lemon over. Cook for 3 minutes per side, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Transfer fillets to a plate, and keep warm.
• Add wine, remaining 1/2 lemon, tomatoes, capers, and salt and pepper to the skillet. Increase heat to medium high and boil for 2 minutes to burn off alcohol. Reduce heat to low and return fillets to the pan along with the asparagus. Cover and simmer 2 minutes more, then transfer fish and asparagus to a serving dish and keep warm.
• Again, increase heat to medium high and whisk in butter, and boil to desired consistency. Spoon sauce over fish, and serve.

• Place the tilapia fillets side by side in a baking dish. Drizzle with oil and lemon juice.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the fish flakes with a fork. Check after 10 minutes, so as not to overcook, or the fish may be dry. When fish is done, top with the tomato mixture, and serve.

MEDITERRANEAN TILAPIA (WEIGHT WATCHERS 4 POINTS)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven (or toaster oven) to 400.
• Line a shallow pan with foil. Use enough foil so that you can double it back over the top of the dish when it is ready to cook.
• Pour olive oil in a fish-size line on the foil. Place fish on top of oil, flipping it over to coat all of the fish in the oil.
• Spritz fish with lemon juice (use more or less, to your taste).
• Rub garlic across the top of the filet so it is evenly distributed.
• Sprinkle feta over the fish evenly. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Fold the foil (loosely) over the fish. This isn't critical, but it does help keep the fish moist if you should happen to overcook it.
• Bake for 6-7 minutes. Test fish for doneness by flaking with a fork. Flakes should fall apart effortlessly; you shouldn't have to "cut" the fish at all, but rather just separate the flakes.
• Some people might prefer to leave the foil off the top if they want the garlic to brown up a bit. I haven't tried this, so I can't say how it would work. You might try removing the foil in the last 2 minutes of cooking or so if you want to give it a shot.
