Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 medium garlic clove, minced
  • One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup sliced cremini or button mushrooms
  • 16 large pimiento-stuffed olives, coarsely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh oregano (or ½ teaspoon dried, crushed)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Four 6-ounce tilapia fillets

Instructions 

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook until the onion is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring the sauce to boiling.
  • Gently place the fish in the sauce in the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fish. Return to boiling. Reduce the heat; simmer, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. With a wide spatula, lift the fish from the skillet and move it to a serving dish. Spoon the sauce over the fish.

Notes

  • Serve the fish with the rice and/or crusty bread slices.
