My kitchen has been busy. Two recipes cooked and several more lined up for tomorrow. (The bad thing is- this post is a day late... this was last night's dinner. Sorry!) I love Tilapia's flavor because it so easily translates with numerous different cooking methods and it's not overly fishy. Most of the time it soaks up the flavor of what you cook it with. I just saw and decided to try a new method of baking it in the oven rather than my typical way of pan-searing it. This is the product of that effort!
Oven-Baked Tilapia with Mushrooms and Fire Roasted Peppers
What you'll need:
4 Tilapia filets
1 lemon cut in half
1/2 (12 oz) jar of mushrooms and red peppers (I found mine at the local supermarket in the pickle section)
1 T basil
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut four 8 x 10" pieces of aluminum foil. Lay the filets in the middle of each foil. Spoon out the desired amount of mushrooms and peppers over the top of each filet, making sure you use some of the liquid from the jar to smother the filet. Take the lemon halves and squeeze out over the filets, making sure lemon seeds don't spill out. Top with basil. Carefully fold up the edges of the foils, forming a little packet, completely folding in the filet and toppings so nothing will spill out. Place each packet in a roasting pan or on a cookie sheet and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
Ratings from the Experts*: 9/10 for fish! This was very easy, quick, and delicious. Literally less than 10 minutes in the kitchen once the filets were thawed. If you're looking for something quick, light, and good... this is it!
