Greek Roasted Tilapia

This Greek roasted tilapia was a big hit with my family. I was not surprised because my family loves fish or any other seafood. This dish is so easy to make; it took me less than half an hour to get dinner ready on the table. Furthermore, the fish was baked and not fried, making it healthier. My co-worker gave me the recipe, which she got from a magazine. Tilapia is used in this recipe but any other white fish may also be used. The fish, which was topped with a mixture of olive oil, garlic, parsley, tomatoes and feta, was baked in the oven for 15-17 minutes. The fish came out tender, moist and delicious. The combined freshness of the tomatoes and parsley with feta cheese and tilapia is refreshingly good, it may be served on its own or with steamed rice. Enjoy!
