TILAPIA WITH ROASTED TOMATO & PESTO SAUCE

Tilapia With Roasted Tomato & Pesto Sauce image

I came across this recipe for Tilapia with Pesto and Oven Roasted Tomatoes a while ago an I thought that it sounded nice and fresh and summery. I have made basil pesto many times but I have pretty much only used it with pasta. I really liked the idea of using it in a new way. Add the lemon to the pesto sounded like a good way to brighten it up. To top it all off, some roasted tomatoes which are one of my favorites! I really liked the choice of serving the tilapia with quinoa and asparagus. I cooked the quinoa in chicken stock and lemon juice to add a bit of flavor to it. The meal came together easily and it was really good! The fish was super moist and along with the lemon, pesto and roasted tomatoes it was really tasty. The quinoa helped soak up the extra juices from the fish and roasted tomatoes infusing it with flavor. I enjoyed using the pesto in the dish and I can't wait to try using pesto in other new ways.

MEDITERRANEAN TILAPIA

Mediterranean Tilapia image

We had some beautiful tilapia fillets, but no recipes! I had recently bought some amazing sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, and decided to invent a slightly Mediterranean fish dish for a quick weeknight dinner. My husband is a recipe purist, always follows them to the letter, but after this, he's learned to trust my inventions!

Tips:

Select fresh tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
Use ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes will add a burst of flavor to the dish. Choose tomatoes that are deep red in color and have no blemishes.
Make your own pesto: Pesto is a flavorful sauce that is easy to make at home. You can use a food processor or blender to combine basil, olive oil, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and garlic.
Use a cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet will help to evenly cook the tilapia and create a crispy crust.
Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the tilapia will not cook evenly. Cook the fillets in batches if necessary.
Serve immediately: Oven roasted tilapia with tomatoes, pesto, and lemon is best served immediately. The fish will be flaky and moist, and the tomatoes and pesto will be flavorful and bright.

Conclusion:

Oven roasted tilapia with tomatoes, pesto, and lemon is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. The tilapia is flaky and moist, and the tomatoes and pesto add a burst of flavor. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
