Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced, fresh
  • 15 ounces diced tomatoes canned, with juices
  • cup green olives chopped, stuffed
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • ½ cup white wine dry
  • 1 ½ pounds tilapia fillets

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes.
  2. Add the olive oil, garlic, and tomatoes with their juices.
  3. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes or until the tomatoes begin to soften.
  4. Add the green olives, capers, tomato paste, and wine.
  5. Reduce the heat, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
  6. While the sauce is cooking, season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Add the fillets to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the fish.
  7. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through.

Notes

  • If using frozen fish, be sure to thaw it before starting to cook, and make sure to pat it as dry as possible before adding it to the pan.
  • Leftovers should be stored in a closed container in the refrigerator and may be kept for 2-3 days. Reheat in a covered pan over very low heat on the stovetop.
