Categories     Fish     Bake     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Healthy

Yield 1-2 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Tilapia Fillets
2 tbs Olive Oil
2 tbs McCormick's Lemon and Garlic Dill Sauce
Old Bay seasoning to taste
Seasoning salt to taste
Sea Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1/4 medium diced onion
4- quartered cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup White long grain rice for rice pilaf (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Rinse off tilapia fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of Tilapia with Old Bay, Seasoning Salt, Sea Salt, and Pepper then set aside. Lay out a sheet of aluminum foil long and wide enough for both tilapia to fit and so you can fold up the sides to prevent juices from running during baking. Drizzle olive oil on the foil along with the Lemon and Garlic Dill Sauce. Lay tilapia on top then distribute the diced tomato and onions across tilapia fillets. Fold edges of aluminum foil to create a "pocket" for the fillets and make sure its sealed. Place foil pocket in the oven and let baked for approximately 15 mins. During the 15 mins, you can also whip up a rice pilaf if you desire. After the 15 mins remove tilapia from oven and immediately serve over a bed of rice pilaf.

GREEK BAKED FISH WITH TOMATOES AND ONIONS



Greek Baked Fish With Tomatoes and Onions image

The robust flavors in the tomato sauce work well with a variety of white fishes. If you have traveled in the Greek Islands, chances are you have had this fish. Use a white-fleshed fish that will stand up to the robust flavors in the tomato sauce. From the Monterey Bay Aquarium's list of best choices I recommend Pacific cod or halibut, black cod or striped bass. From the "Good Alternatives" list I recommend Mahi Mahi from United States waters.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 2h15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds boneless fish fillets or steaks, halibut (Pacific US), black cod (Alaska and Canada), porgy, striped bass or mahi mahi (United States)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Juice of 1 large lemon
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound onions, cut in half lengthwise and then sliced thinly across the grain
2 large garlic cloves, minced or puréed
1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes with juice (in summer use 2 pounds grated or peeled seeded ripe tomatoes)
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon tomato paste dissolved in 1/4 cup water
1/2 cup dry white wine or red wine
Leaves from 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped (about 1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Pat the fish dry and season to taste with salt and pepper. Oil one or two baking dishes large enough to accommodate the fish in one layer. Lay the fish in the dish and pour on the lemon juice. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until they have softened and begun to color slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the tomatoes, sugar, paprika, cinnamon, dissolved tomato paste, wine, half the parsley and more salt and pepper to taste and bring to a simmer. Simmer uncovered, stirring often, until the sauce has cooked down a bit and is very fragrant, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the fish. Sprinkle on the remaining parsley.
  • Place in the oven and bake until the fish is opaque and pulls apart easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Baste the fish every 10 minutes if it is not submerged in the sauce. Serve hot or warm, with rice, bulgur, or potatoes.

  • Bake the tilapia fillets at a high temperature so that they cook quickly and evenly. This will help to prevent the fish from becoming dry.
  • Serve the tilapia fillets immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that they are at their best flavor.
