¼ teaspoon of salt
1/8 teaspoon of grounded black pepper
½ teaspoon of dried oregano
1 teaspon of garlic powder
4 tablespoons of tomato paste

1 green bell pepper
1 onion (large)
4 tablespoons of butter

Steps:

  • Baked Tilapia Directions: * Start by preheating the oven to 175° C / 350° F. * Prepare a medium sized baking dish by coating its bottom with roughly ¼ cup of the olive oil. * Pour the rest of the olive oil, ½ cup, into a small bowl and mix it with salt, pepper, oregano, garlic and tomato paste. * Place the tilapia fillets in the baking dish. The skin side should be up. * Use a spatula to gently spread the mix from the bowl over the fillets. A large part of the paste should be used to cover the centres of the fillets. * Slice one green bell pepper into thin slices * Slice one large onion into slices * Place the green bell pepper and the onion around the tilapia fillets * Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. The baked tilapia is finished when you can easily flake it using a fork. * Remove the baked tilapia from the oven and place 1 tablespoon of butter on top of each fillet. * Set the oven to broil and broil the baked tilapia during 5-7 minutes. The butter should be fully melted and just turning slightly brown when you remove the dish from the oven.
