We really enjoyed the tilapia fillets with all the fresh ingredients. I lightly dusted the fish with my cajun seasoning, which is similar to Emeril's Essence, prior to sauteing. I reduced the amount of red peppers to a pinch because of the cajun seasoning. I also used only 2 cups of cherry tomatoes which was more than enough. The instructions did not say when to add the fresh basil so I tossed it in with the parsley and crushed red pepper. The next time I will just sprinkle the basil on top of the dish prior to serving. Used the artichoke hearts but deleted capers because I was out of them. Thanks for posting a great recipe.

My four stars, following Lorac's system, is extremely good. I used 2 cups of grape tomatoes, and all the other suggested veggies. My olives were very salty, I might cut down to 1/2 cup the next time. Other than that, it was delicious and we really enjoyed it!
