2 medium tilapia filets (about 1 ½ pounds)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
½ cup chopped white onion or leeks
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
½ cup green olives, pitted, chopped
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed, drained
METHOD
Sprinkle tilapia with salt and flour, shaking off the
extra flour. Add 2 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high
heat. Add the fish and cook, turning once halfway through, until golden brown
and just opaque in the center, 4 to 6 minutes total. Transfer the fish to a
serving platter; tent with foil to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the onion, garlic,
tomatoes, tomato paste and chopped olives to the pan. Return to medium heat,
cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the capers,
cook for 2 minutes more to heat everything through and meld the flavors. Serve the fish with the sauce on the side.
