• 4 (6 oz) skinless boneless tilapia fillets
• 3/4 tsp salt
• /4 tsp ground pepper
• 4 1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle the tilapia with 1/2 tsp of the salt and 1/8 tsp of the pepper. Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat, then add the tilapia. Cook until just opaque in the center, 2 - 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the fish to a platter and keep warm.

Return the skillet to the heat. Add the remaining 2 1/2 tsp oil, then add the garlic and capers. Cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and the remaining 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Cook until the tomato mixture starts to thicken, 3 - 4 minutes. Add the tilapia and cook until heated through, about 1 minute longer. Serve at once.
