yesterday i decided i really wanted fish for dinner; the outcome was tilapia baked with tomatoes, capers, marinated artichoke hearts, lemon juice and just a touch of butter. i also made asparagus satueed in a little olive oil.

tilapia baked with tomatoes, capers & artichoke hearts
2 4 oz tilapia fillets
4 small tomaotes
6 - 8 marinated artichoke heart quarters
1 tbsp capers, rinsed
1/2 a lemon for juice
1 or 2 cloves of garlic, flattened/smashed a bit to release flavor
salt & pepper

1. grease or spray a 8" x 8" baking dish
2. season fish on both sides with salt and pepper
3. lay fish in pan, mine overlapped a bit in the middle
4. shave 3 or 4 very thin slivers of butter for each fillet and arrange on fish
5. cut tomatoes in half and then quarter each half; arrange on fish
6. place 3-4 artichoke heart quarters on each fillet
7. sprinkle capers over the fish and drizzle with juice from half a lemon
8. cover with tin foil and baked for about 15 minutes at 425. I was a little negligent about documenting the time it took to cok so check it at 15 minutes. If fish flakes with the fork at thckest part, it's done. If it doesn't just pop it in for a few more minutes at a time until it does flake.

Serve with your favorite vegetable and ENJOY!
