Equipment

  • fine mesh strainer
  • 12-inch covered skillet
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) Hunts diced tomatoes with garlic drained
  • 1 can (14 ounces) water-packed quartered artichoke hearts drained
  • 3 Tablespoons drained capers
  • 6 tilapia fillets about 6 ounces each
  • Salt and pepper to taste

FOR SERVING:

  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges

Instructions

  • In a large 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and capers and cook, stirring constantly until heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
    Cook the tomatoes and artichokes until heated through.
  • Place the tilapia fillets over the tomato mixture and cover the skillet. Cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the fish is done. You’ll be able to tell because it flakes easily with a fork. If your skillet is not large enough, then cook the tilapia in batches.
    Place the tilapia onto of the tomatoes mixture, cover and cook for 8 minutes.
  • Season the dish to taste with salt and pepper and serve with grated Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges.
