Ingredients

• 4 pieces tilapia fillets
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.33 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Brush a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking, and arrange the tilapia fillets in a single layer.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil mixture evenly over the tilapia fillets, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

Step 6

Top the fillets with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tilapia is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as rice or roasted vegetables.
