This is truly a hit with kids and adults alike. I still get calls for the recipe from the church congregation I cooked for.
Ingredients:
1 lb tilapia fillet, thawed if necessary
1 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper
4 -5 roma tomatoes, chopped
2 -3 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaf
1 teaspoon olive oil
2/3 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Place fish fillets on a lightly greased shallow pan.
3. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper.
4. Dot with butter.
5. In a bowl, combine tomato, onion, basil, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. (This should resemble bruschetta topping in consistency and taste.)
6. Spoon over fish.
7. Bake fish for about 8-10 minutes, or until it flakes easily when tested with a fork.
8. Turn off oven.
9. Sprinkle fish with cheese and return to oven just to melt the cheese.
