Tilapia With Peppers And Olives Food

SHEET-PAN ROASTED FISH WITH SWEET PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pull 1 tablespoon thyme leaves off the bunch and finely chop.
• Season fish all over with a large pinch or two of salt and pepper and rub with chopped thyme leaves. Let rest at room temperature while you prepare peppers.
• Spread peppers on a rimmed sheet pan, and toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper to taste. Top peppers with the remaining thyme sprigs. Roast, tossing occasionally, until peppers are softened and golden at the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees. Push peppers to the edges of the pan, clearing a space in the center. Lay fish out on that empty space and drizzle with oil. Scatter olives over the top of fish and peppers. Roast until fish turns opaque and is just cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make a vinaigrette by combining vinegar, garlic and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, then whisk in parsley. Taste and add more salt or vinegar, or both, if needed. Serve fish and peppers drizzled with vinaigrette.

TILAPIA WITH PEPPERS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season the fish with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook until opaque throughout, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a second large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cook the peppers and onion, stirring often, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Stir the olives, parsley, lime juice, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper into the vegetables. Serve with the fish.

BAKED TILAPIA WITH TOMATOES & OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Lightly oil a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the fillets in one layer.
• In a bowl stir together the oil, the thyme, the tomatoes, the olives, the red pepper flakes, the garlic, the onion, and the lime juice.
• In the prepared baking dish arrange the fillets, skin sides down, season them with salt, and spoon the tomato mixture over them.
• Bake the fish, uncovered, in the middle of the oven 15 to 20 minutes, or until it just flakes.
