Tilapia with Tomatoes and Olives

Tilapia is a delicate white fish that is complemented by the strong flavors of olives and tomatoes. Try Viognier or Sauvignon Blanc in the dish and have the rest with your meal. This dish is ready in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes, fresh or drained canned tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced ripe olives
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano or marjoram (or 1 tbsp. fresh)
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 lb. tilapia, or any other firm white fish

Preparation:

Cook onion in oil in a medium skillet for about 10 minutes, or until soft. Add tomatoes, olives, broth, wine and seasonings and cook for 5 minutes more. Place fish in the skillet6, covering it with some of the sauce. Cook, covered, until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes. Serve over rice or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Serves 4.
