Decked in holiday red and green, this fish is swimmingly delish. When the body craves carbs, lean protein reins in the desire to indulge in the guilty pleasures of the Season, at least for awhile! 😉

2-4 Tbsps. Olive Oil
1-2 pcs. Tilapia per person
¼ cup approx. Olive Tapenade at room temp.
Tomato Slices (1 per piece of fish)

Fry fish in olive oil on one side until its edges turn from translucent to white.  Flip over, top with a spoonful of olive tapenade on each piece, and a thin slice of tomato.  Fry for a further few minutes until the topping warms through and the second side of fish is cooked.  Serve immediately.

Simple wilted greens completes this quickie of a meal.

Wilted Greens; Toss a few handfuls of assorted green lettuces in a hot pan with a drizzle of olive oil and just wilt. Season with salt. Add a dash of vinegar if you’re in the mood for a bit of tang.

Hi, I'm Marianne Hines. Most call me ANNiE. The nick is short and sweet and not at all like me. I’m 5’11” and happiest when there's sand between my toes, when I'm dirty, windblown, and adorned with the debris of whatever project I'm working on. I build, design,and create in many forms. I’ve spent most of my life in the Northwest. Twelve years ago I came to the southeast for love, that love is now my husband. I love London and Paris for the art, food, and architecture. I love Spring and Fall, mountains, untouched snow, the smell of a horse’s mane, the sound of paper dry leaves under foot, birds singing, reef snorkeling, flea market hunting, and cooking for friends who love to eat, to be loud, and to laugh.
