Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Tilapia with Green Tomato Relish.
Step 1
Start by warming a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the diced onion and sauté it until it becomes translucent, which should take about five minutes.
Step 3
Next, stir in the canned diced tomatoes, green tomatoes, capers, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Let this delightful mixture simmer for around five minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to blend beautifully.
Step 5
While that’s cooking, season your tilapia fillets with a sprinkle of salt and pepper on both sides to enhance their natural flavor.
Step 6
In a separate large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 7
Gently place the seasoned tilapia fillets in the skillet and cook them for about three minutes on each side, or until they flake easily with a fork—this is when you know they’re perfectly done.
Step 8
Once cooked, transfer the fillets to a serving platter, and let’s add a zesty touch! Pour fresh lemon juice into the skillet, swirling it around to deglaze and lift any tasty browned bits from the bottom—this should take about 30 seconds to a minute.
Step 9
Finally, spoon the vibrant tomato mixture generously over the tilapia fillets before serving.
Step 10
This dish not only looks stunning but also bursts with flavor, making it a delightful meal for any occasion.

Enjoy your culinary creation!.
