TILAPIA WITH CHARRED CHERRY TOMATOES AND BALSAMIC REDUCTION
Steps:
- Chop 1/4 of the basil leaves. Mix chopped basil, thyme, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub spice mixture on tilapia fillets and place in an airtight container. Marinate for 2 hours at room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil and grease with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Place tilapia fillets into prepared baking dish, shaking off excess seasoning. Sprinkle cherry tomatoes, shallot, and remaining unchopped basil leaves on top. Drizzle 1/2 the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar over the fish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until fish is starting to flake.
- Meanwhile, combine remaining lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil mixture until it has the thick consistency of molasses, 5 to 10 minutes.

- Broil fish until tomatoes are charred, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and discard liquid. Pour balsamic reduction on top of fish.

BALSAMIC TILAPIA
This is a great way to make Tilapia with a twist. Easy, flavorful and good for you, it's different than the usual broiled, baked or fried Tilapia I usually have. Ingredients needed are minimal - I made it up with what I had on hand and it turned out beautifully. My husband loved it and he isn't much of a fish eater.

Steps:
- Prep the Tilapia and marinate with salt, pepper, a sprinkle of lemon juice and rubbed with olive oil. Set aside for about 5-10 Minutes. Pre-Heat the oven at 450* in the meantime and prep the toppings. In a medium saucepan, heat about a tablespoon of olive oil and in medium-high setting. Caramelize the onions till golden brown and add the bell peppers. Stirring occasionally, cook until the peppers are soft then stir in the tomatoes and add 3 Tablespoons of Balsamic Vinaigrette. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes Using foil to wrap and trap the heat while in the oven, place the Tilapia evenly on a baking dish and pour in the Toppings on top. Pinch foil edges to close and place in the oven for about 20 minutes. The Tilapia should be soft with the touch of a fork. Plate over a bed of spinach and Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose a flaky, white fish like tilapia, cod, or halibut for best results.
- Use a high-quality balsamic vinegar for the marinade and glaze. A good balsamic vinegar will have a thick, syrupy consistency and a sweet-tart flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. If the fish is too crowded, it will not cook evenly.
- Bake the fish until it is cooked through. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the fish immediately with the balsamic glaze. The glaze will thicken as it cools, so it is best to serve it warm.
Conclusion:
Balsamic baked tilapia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The balsamic vinegar adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the fish, and the crispy skin is irresistible. Serve the fish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
