Tilapia is one of the most popular types of fish because of its affordability, even those it is not my favorite I do occasionally buy it. Today I would like to share a simple and quick recipe and show you how to turn this plain fish into something colorful.
Ingredients:
- 3 tilapia fillets;
- grape tomatoes (halved);
- 2-3 cloves of garlic (sliced);
- coconut oil for frying;
- salt and pepper to taste;
- fresh cilantro for garnish;
- fresh or canned jalapenos (optional);
Directions:
Heat up your frying pan at a medium heat, salt and pepper the fish fillets and place them on the pan. Cook at a low heat until the edges of the fish turn white, then flip it and continue cooking, when it is almost done add in the tomatoes and garlic, let them cook a bit. To get this charred look on my tomatoes I used a torch, but if you don't have one it is alright. Your tomatoes will still look and taste great!
Top the dish off with fresh cilantro and/or jalapeno peppers. Unfortunately, I didn't have fresh jalapenos on hand so I decided to use the ones I had in a jar for extra spicy flavor.
Enjoy!
