Used whiting instead of tilapia, served it on rice. Cooked the tomato and olive mix in the skillet, much better than cold, didn’t have any capers, too bad I like them.
James Guerrero
Great blend of flavors. Easy recipe to follow and prepare. I’ll make again.
Chad Smith
My family loved this. I baked the fish with a slice of lemon and then removed the lemon and added the topping and put it under the broiler for 3 minutes.
Nicole Williams
I enjoyed this. Tilapia is a budget’s friend and this was a nice way to change it up. Going in my permanent file
Beth Beasley
This was very easy to make and full of flavor! The sun dried tomatoes are a perfect compliment to the complexity of tilapia. It’s an elegant dish that you can make quickly. Very filling and summery. I will be making this again!
Gregory Evans
Family loved it. Didn’t have calamata olives, substituted bruschetta olive mix and it was delicious.
Courtney Baker
Sort of made this. Simmered the dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, capers and garlic in wine, vegetable broth and lemon juice, with added thyme and basil sprigs (removed later)about ten minutes before adding the fish. Simmered till done, the sauce was well reduced by then, just drizzled the well flavored reduction over the fish to serve. Very happy with the bold flavor, went well over a whole grain. Will have to make again.
Robert Cortez
Followed the recipe as written. Very easy. Didn’t turn out crispy & crunchy on the outside but delicious nonetheless.
Cindy Chase
This is a very good dish, the first of man y that I’m sure I’ll find on this site. Also, served when a wild long grain rice or is delicious
Robert Smith

Jon Hubbard
Fabulous
David Wells
So delicious! Will definitely make it again.
James Hooper
Pretty good mix, not bad for just putting a few things together for a quick and easy meal. I added salt & pepper, garlic, a little oregano, green onions and a little (very little) Asian fish sauce. It goes quite well with tabbouleh but I’m betting it would go well with a tagine style couscous!

Good topping to jazz up tilapia. Good for an quick and easy weeknight meal. I added the topping a few minutes before removing it from the oven. After it was done and removed from the oven I topped it with freshly shredded Parmesan.
Theresa Bush
Delicious and nutritious! I added some feta cheese to the topping mixture and added the topping to the fish about half-way through the baking cycle.
Sara Henderson
This was pretty tasty. I can agree with others that the fish could have used just a little more seasoning while it was cooking, but I made the recipe as written and it was very quick and tasty. A great weeknight meal.
Deborah Jensen MD
I baked the fish with the toppings on it to get them to absorb the flavors of the tomatoes and olives. I thought it was pretty delicious.
Kimberly Chandler
Added 1 tablespoon of rainbow peppercorns
Randall Clark
I doubled the topping amounts to really disguise the “fishiness”, as I am not a fish fan.
Andrew Giles
Excellent and easy. I doubled the sundries tomato mixture.
Joseph Flowers
To be honest, I really did not expect to like this recipe, but am really trying to watch my diet for heart health. Not a big fan of Kalamata olives, & when I realized those, the capers, & tomatoes weren’t going to be cooked or anything, I especially didn’t think I’d like it…but I was pleasantly surprised! First bite I was like eh, but then it grew on me. Just finished up the leftovers for lunch today. Totally making this again!
