For TCK Garnish
1/3 cup (Sun Flower Oil packed) Sun-dried Tomatos chopped
1/4 cup (vinegar brine & olive oil packed) kalamata olives, pitted and rough chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon non pareille capers
2 medium tilapia filets
For Tilapia
2 tablespoon sunflower oil from sundried tomato container
1 tablespoon oil/brine from olives
1 tablespoon lemon juice
For Spinach
1 bunch baby spinach
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 sm. garlic clove diced
For Potato Crisps
5 baby red potatoes
2 tablespoons Corn Oil
Sea Salt
Pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees In a mixing bowl combine the capers, kalmata olives, sund dried tomatoes and lemon juice. Set Aside I like to squeeze out the excess sunflowr oil in the sun-dried tomatoes into the baking dish I am using for the Tilapia. In a seperate dish combine Lemon Juice, Sunflower Oil, and Brine/Oil mix in a bowl and stir until blended. Dip Tilapia filets into bowl and place in medium size baking dish. (keep filet edges from touchins and give plenty of room to surround with heat when cooking) Drizzle left over oil/lemon/brine sauce over filets and bake for about 20 - 25 minutes at 375. In the meantime slice baby red potatoes into thin wafers 1/8" or less. You should have what looks like 25 - 30 baby potato chip looking wafers. Heat a cast iron skillet with corn/veg/high temp oil to medium heat and place wafers in so that they are not touching. brown one side (2 - 3 minutes) and then flip. Your are trying to get the potatoe to the point of almost a potatoe chip. Remove from heat and place on paper towel to soak up oil & cover with a pan lid. Turn down heat to low flame and add a dash of olive oil and suate garlic until it starts browning. Then add spinach and saute to liking. Lower flame to lowest setting and pull spinach to side and leave alone until you serve. You should be about 20 - 22 minutes into the tilapia. This is a good time to open the bottle of your favorite white and have light taste. Once you feel your tilapia is done place the filets on a a warm plate and drizzle with excess pan drippings. Add spinach and potatoes to the sdie. Top with Tomato, caper,& Kalmata Garnish. Two twists of the pepper mill over the whole shebang and dinner is served.
