Pesto Tilapia

Simple, fast and SO delicious. This is my favorite fish recipe and I always get requests for the recipe!

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 5  tilapia fillets or 5  flounder fillets or 5  cod fish fillets
•  salt & pepper, to taste
• 1⁄2 cup pesto sauce
• 1 (15 ounce) can  petite diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 1⁄2 cups  shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place foil on a cookie sheet. Place fish on the foil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Top with pesto, tomatoes and then cheese (in order).
4. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until fish flakes with fork.
5. *Note: I don't care for pesto except in this recipe. To prevent wasting the rest of the pesto in the jar, I make one recipe for dinner and freeze the ingredients to have another day. Just place each of the ingredients (except salt & pepper) in its own quart-size freezer bag, then place all in a gallon-size freezer bag along with directions and freeze. When ready to make, just thaw completely and follow the above directions to prepare.
