Bruchetta Tilapia

I made this dish for my moms 42nd birthday tonight, it was a hit! My inspiration was the bruchetta I normally make for parties and my moms love of seafood. Thus the bruchetta tilapia was born

• 2 pints grape tomatoes



• 2 Tablespoons chopped garlic



• 1/4 cup olive oil



• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar



• salt, pepper, oregano and basil



• 2 lbs tilapia



• lemon juice
  
  

Preheat oven to 375. In a bowl mix together tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and salt, pepper, oregano and basil to taste. Mix well and dump on the bottom of a baking dish. Lay the tialpia on top of the tomatoes and squirt with lemon juice, drizzle with a little more balsamic vinegar and season top of fish with more salt and pepper and spices. Bake for about 10 minutes or until fish is cooked. This dish turned out so yummy, make sure you scoop up a lot of the tomatoes with the fish, they are delicious!

Coconut Lemon Tilapia

Woo Hoo the weather is getting so nice!! New Jersey had a record amount of snow this year with a nor eastern and 3 blizzards. It was so awesome to see it in the 70's today! This inspired me to make a delicious seafood dish. Tilapia was on sale. I walked through other random aisles and came up with this recipe.

• 2 lbs tilapia or any other white flakey fish



• 1 can coconut milk, unsweetened



• 3 Tablespoons lemon juice



• 1 Tablespoon lemon pepper



• 1 teaspoon salt



• 1 teaspoon garlic powder



• 1 teaspoon dried parsley



• 1 lb carrots, sliced and chopped



• 1 bag frozen sugar snap peas



• 1 lb chopped mushrooms

In a large baking dish add tilapia in one layer. In a separate bowl mix together coconut milk, lemon juice, lemon pepper, salt, garlic powder and parsley. Dump mixture over fish. Marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator, flipping once at 30 minutes. After the hour remove fish from pan. Add in all the veggies and mix them up in the marinade. Place fish on top of veggies. Sprinkle the top with additional salt, pepper and parsley. Bake in a 350 degree over for 25-30 minutes.

This is SO good. My 12 year old brother ate it. He does not eat anything not battered and fried. And he liked it!

Foil Baked Italian Tilapia

Ingredients--

• 4 three oz fresh or frozen tilapia filets


• 1 can diced tomatoes- not drained


• 2 tablespoons diced garlic (from a jar is fine)


• 2 tablespoons lemon juice


• 2 tablespoons dried basil


• 2 tablespoons dried parsley


• capers


• salt and pepper


• foil

Preheat oven to 350. Take one piece of foil big enough to fully enclose fish filet and put the tilapia on it. Take about 1/4 of the can of diced tomatoes and cover the piece of fish with it, then on top of that put on 1/2 tablespoon garlic, 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 tablespoon dried basil and parsley and about a tablespoon of capers. Add salt and pepper. Wrap the foil fully around the fish and seal at the top by crunching the foil together. Repeat with the 3 other filets. place all the fish packages on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes. Unwrap and enjoy.

This is a very tasty fish dish, serve with 1/2 a cup of wheat rotini or with some quinoa.
