TILAPIA WITH ARTICHOKE, CAPER, AND CHERRY TOMATO SAUCE AND ISRAELI COUSCOUS
Steps:
- On a large plate, stir together the bread crumbs, cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper. Rinse the tilapia fillets and pat dry, then coat on both sides with the breadcrumb mixture.
- In a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add the tilapia fillets and sauté, turning once, until golden and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer the tilapia to a plate and keep warm.
- In a medium saucepan over moderately high heat, bring the stock to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the couscous and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes, then stir in the green onions. Cover and keep warm.
- While the couscous is standing, prepare the sauce: In the skillet that was used to cook the fish, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over moderately low heat. Add the red onion and sauté, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft, about 2 more minutes. Add the artichokes and sauté, stirring occasionally, about 2 more minutes. Add the tomatoes and capers and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften, about 3 more minutes. Stir in the reserved artichoke liquid, the vegetable stock, butter, and lemon juice and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 more minutes.
- Divide the couscous between 2 plates and top each with a tilapia fillet. Spoon the sauce over the fish and couscous and serve immediately.

My mom and I really like tomatoes, capers and artichokes, so I used them together in this one-pan meal. The best part is that, on a busy night, all of the ingredients are ready and waiting in your pantry or freezer. -Denise Klibert, Shreveport, Louisiana

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have fewer seeds and less water.
- If you don't have any artichoke hearts on hand, you can substitute canned artichoke hearts, just be sure to drain and rinse them well before using.
- If you want a crispy tilapia fillet, be sure to pat it dry with paper towels before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the tilapia. If you do, the fish will steam instead of fry and won't get crispy.
- Serve the tilapia immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
