Recipe: Greek Tilapia

This is what my dad requested for his birthday. He loves it, which I find slightly amusing because it’s super simple to make. It’s also very healthy which is a plus for my family since we are trying to eat more healthful right now. You could easily substitute red snapper or mahi mahi for the tilapia, or even use frozen tilapia because fresh fish tends to be very expensive. Just make sure to thaw it out first. I hope you like it!

Greek Tilapia – Adapted from Publix Simple Apron Meals

4 tilapia filets (about 1½ pounds total)

1 teaspoon Greek seasoning, divided

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ cup diced onions

2-4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 (14.5 oz) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained and cut into smaller pieces

1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained

¼ – ½ cup white wine, depending on taste

Pat tilapia dry with paper towels and season both sides with ½ teaspoon Greek seasoning and black pepper. Spray large skillet with non-stick cooking spray if desired and heat over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Saute onions for 2 minutes until slightly softened, but not brown. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Add fish, artichokes, tomatoes, wine, and remaining ½ teaspoon seasoning. Bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to low, and allow to cook 15-20 minutes or until flavors are blended and the acidity has been cooked out of the tomatoes. Serve fish with artichoke-tomato mixture on top.
