Lemony Tilapia with slow roasted tomatoes, garlic, and herbs

Hey Ali-

Sorry for the hiatus but things have been insane around here.  On Labor Day we were all sick with strep- YUCK!  While we were at the pediatrician's office waiting for the strep test results, I was reading  an article about the importance of eating fish at least once a week .  As you know I am a sucker for all things in print so tonight I am making tilapia for dinner.  I had to come up with my own recipe since most of the ones I found either involved frying the fish or dousing it in lots of butter.  Tilapia is a great fish for kids because the flavor is mellow.  

Slow roasted tomatoes:

1 T olive oil

1 head WHOLE cloves garlic 

Fresh dill, parsley, thyme 

salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar to bring out the sweet juices

-Add all ingredients to a 9x13 pan, cover, and cook at 350 for 45 min

Lemony tilapia:

1 lemon, thinly sliced

4-6 tilapia fillets with just a touch of lemon pepper seasoning (optional)

and a pinch of sugar sprinkled on each side

-take tomatoes out of the oven and intersperse fish and lemon slices
-spray with olive oil spray
-bake covered for another 20 minutes or till done

PART ONE

mmmmmmmmmm fresh herbs 

PART TWO 

Bon Apetit my friend.
