Also known as St. Peter's fish, tilapia has a wonderful mild, sweet flavor, tastier than white fish. Egyptian heiroglyphics dating from 2500 BC mention tilapia.
4 Filets of fresh tilapia (or whitefish)
1 large tomato, sliced thin (use a mandolin to get really thin slices--but watch your fingers!)
1 ounce plain bread crumbs
1 clove garlic
2 T olive oil
pinch dried oregano
1 Bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 lemon (sliced for garnish)
Salt fish on both sides. In a baking dish, place tilapia. Add sliced tomato, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, bay leafe and breadcrumbs. Drizzle olive oil over top. Let marinate for 1 hour. Preheat broiler. Broil fish (still in the same baking dish as tomato slices) for 10 minutes or until top is golden brown. Remove bay leaf.
Garnish with lemon slices
Serve with a side of spaghetti & marinara sauce and a green veggie.
