$\"mediterranean$ <\/p>\n

I recently decided that I don’t cook enough seafood. I love all kinds of seafood, and it is usually surprisingly simple to prepare. This Mediterranean tilapia is a prime example; with only a few ingredients (most of which I nearly always have on hand) and less than an hour, I can have a delicious dinner in front of me with the classic flavors of herbs de provence<\/a> playing very nicely with tomatoes, olives, and white wine. This dish can be a light meal in and of itself or you can serve it with a few sides for something a little heartier. And I love dishes with easy drink pairings; since only 1\/2 cup of wine is used in the dish, the remainder of the bottle is perfect for completing the feel of a relaxing dinner on the Mediterranean coast (even when I’m actually stuck in DC in the middle of winter).<\/span><\/p>\n

\nMediterranean Tilapia<\/span><\/strong> (adapted from The Perfect Pantry<\/a>)
\nYield: 4 – 6 servings<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
1 onion, sliced into rings<\/span><\/li>\n
1 rib celery, sliced<\/span><\/li>\n
1 1\/2 lb tilapia filet(s)<\/span>*<\/li>\n
1\/2 cup dry white wine<\/span><\/li>\n
2 cups diced tomatoes<\/span>**<\/li>\n
18 – 20 black olives, pitted and chopped<\/span><\/li>\n
4 cloves garlic, minced<\/span><\/li>\n
1 tsp herbs de provence<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
1\/2 tsp red pepper flakes<\/span><\/li>\n
olive oil<\/span><\/li>\n
juice from 1\/2 lemon<\/span>***<\/li>\n
salt and pepper, to taste<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
*Or other flaky white fish. The original recipe used red snapper which I’m sure would be quite tasty, but I found tilapia was a lot more affordable and still delicious.
\n**Canned or fresh, doesn’t matter.
\n***Use the second lemon half for serving.<\/p>\n
Method:
\n<\/p>\n
\n
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.<\/li>\n
Layer the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish with 1 onion, sliced into rings<\/em> and 1 rib celery, sliced<\/em>, then top with 1 1\/2 lb tilapia filet(s)<\/em>.<\/li>\n
Evenly sprinkle 2 cups diced tomatoes<\/em>, 18 – 20 black olives, pitted and chopped<\/em>, 4 cloves garlic, minced<\/em>, 1 tsp herbs de provence<\/a><\/em>, and 1\/2 tsp red pepper flakes<\/em> over the fish.<\/li>\n
Drizzle with olive oil, cover, and bake for 20 minutes.<\/li>\n
Uncover, pour on juice from 1\/2 lemon<\/em>, then bake uncovered until the fish is flaky and cooked through, about 15 more minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
