Tilapia with Green Tomato Relish

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Tilapia with Green Tomato Relish.

1. Step 1

   Start by warming a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

2. 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.

3. Step 3

   Next, stir in the canned diced tomatoes, green tomatoes, capers, dried basil, salt, and pepper.

4. Step 4

   Let this delightful mixture simmer for around five minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to blend beautifully.

5. 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.

6. Step 6

   In a separate large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

7. 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.

8. 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.
