TILAPIA WITH GREEN TOMATO TAPENADE

Tilapia with Green Tomato Tapenade image

The tapenade is great in pasta, served as an appetizer on bread rounds, or over another mild fish or thin chicken breast. It's a great way to use up your green tomatoes at the end of the season. You can also make a big batch and freeze it. It is a nice taste of late summer when it's cold out. I do have to say, I think this is good enough; I am looking forward to summer's first tomatoes that might just not get a chance to ripen!

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
¼ large onion, diced
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®)
2 green tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon capers
1 pinch dried basil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ pounds tilapia fillets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes, green tomatoes, capers, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tilapia fillets; cook until flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter.
