Baked Tilapia Caprese (with Tomato and Basil)

My new favorite way to make tilapia. 

Easy to put together. Then just roast for
20 minutes in the oven.

 You really don't need to measure. 

Adjust amounts for one to eight servings.

tilapia, fresh basil, oregano, garlic, salt, pepper, 

onion powder, olive oil,  and tomato

Use a shallow ovenproof platter or baking dish. 

Spray or coat it with a little oil.  Arrange the fish
 in a single layer. Drizzle the tilapia with olive oil, 

sprinkle with salt, pepper, onion powder, 

chopped basil, oregano and garlic.

 Chop a tomato, or use canned, and scatter on
 top. Add a drizzle of olive oil.

 Bake at 400 for 20-25minutes.

 I also roasted potatoes along with the tilapia

 in my cast iron pan.

 Remove from oven and sprinkle the top with lemon juice.

 Serve.

The tilapia stays very moist and flavorful.
