Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 flounder fillets or 5 cod fish fillets
salt & pepper, to taste
1/2 cup pesto sauce
1 (15 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, drained
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place foil on a cookie sheet. Place fish on the foil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Top with pesto, tomatoes and then cheese (in order).
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until fish flakes with fork.
  • *Note: I don't care for pesto except in this recipe. To prevent wasting the rest of the pesto in the jar, I make one recipe for dinner and freeze the ingredients to have another day. Just place each of the ingredients (except salt & pepper) in its own quart-size freezer bag, then place all in a gallon-size freezer bag along with directions and freeze. When ready to make, just thaw completely and follow the above directions to prepare.

This was my first time making pesto tilapia, and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly, and the fish was cooked perfectly. The pesto sauce was also delicious.

I'm not a fan of pesto, but I loved this recipe! The pesto sauce was mild and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the tilapia.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pesto. I always have a jar of pesto in my fridge, so this is a quick and easy meal that I can make any night of the week.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pesto tilapia turned out dry and overcooked. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

The tilapia was cooked perfectly. It was flaky and moist, and the pesto sauce was flavorful and well-balanced.

The pesto sauce was too oily for my liking. I would have preferred a lighter sauce, like a lemon-butter sauce.

The pesto tilapia was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different type of fish, like salmon or cod.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pesto sauce, and it still tasted amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of fish, but this recipe changed my mind! The pesto sauce is so good that it even makes tilapia taste delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This pesto tilapia was a hit with my family! The fish was flaky and moist, and the pesto sauce was flavorful and herbaceous. I served it with roasted vegetables and a side of rice, and it was a complete meal.
