Ingredients

1 ¼ pounds tilapia
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved if large
¼ cup dry white wine
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons olive tapenade

Directions

Step 1

Sprinkle tilapia with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook (in two batches if necessary), turning once halfway through, until golden brown and just opaque in the center, 4 to 6 minutes total. Transfer the fish to a serving platter; tent with foil to keep warm.

Step 2

Off the heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, tomatoes, wine and garlic to the pan. Return to medium heat, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of tomatoes are broken down, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in olive tapenade and cook for 1 minute more. Serve the fish with the sauce.

Good and easy as promised Since I didn't have tapenade on the shelf I chopped up a mixture of olives and used a few tomatoes from the garden. This added zesty good taste to the bland tilapia...and got rid of those last few olives in the jars! Cons: Don't always have tapenade on the shelf. Read More
