Vegetable cooking spray

1 1/2 pounds fresh or frozen tilapia, thawed if frozen

One 14-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 cup sliced green pimento-stuffed olives

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Juice from one lime

1 tablespoon olive oil

Kosher salt

Fresh black pepper

1 Roma tomato, finely diced

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat a long casserole dish with cooking spray. In casserole combine undrained tomatoes, garlic, olives, cumin, and lime juice.

Rinse fish and pat dry. Cut into four pieces and lay fillets over tomato mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt (sparingly – the olives make it salty) and black pepper.

Bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Spoon some of the sauce mixture over the top of the fish. Sprinkle with diced fresh tomatoes. Continue to bake for another 7-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Makes 4 normal or 8 Weight Loss Surgery servings.
