Tilapia with Green Tomato Tapenade Recipe

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/4 large onion, diced
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as ROTEL®)
  • 2 green tomatoes, diced
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1 pinch dried basil
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 pounds tilapia fillets

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes, green tomatoes, capers, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
  2. Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tilapia fillets; cook until flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter.
  4. Pour lemon juice into the skillet; swirl to pick up browned bits off the bottom of the skillet, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour over fillets.
  5. Spoon tomato mixture over fillets before serving.
