What's for Dinner Wednesday: Tilapia with Pesto and Roasted Tomatoes

**Main recipe courtesy of www.closetcooking.com**

Shopping/ingredient list:
  • 2 tilapia fillets (or however many you want)
  • Pesto (2 tablespoons)
  • Lemon (peel and juice)
  • Garlic (4 cloves)  
  • Grape tomatoes (1 container)
  • Olive oil (I like to use extra virgin olive oil)
  • Salt and pepper  
Directions: 
  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Toss tomatoes with oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Roast tomatoes in oven for 10-15 minutes.
  • Mix lemon juice with pesto.
  • Cut the rind into slices.
  • Season fish with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Set the slices on top of the tomatoes and place the fish on top.
  • Spread the pesto onto fish.
  • Bake the fish for 10-15 minutes. 
Serve with whatever sides you want, but I usually go for brown rice and steamed broccoli.

  2. Probably a little of both. I tend to overcook a little, but we are weird and like it a little soft when it's cooked and not raw.
