Athenian Fish
Ingredients
4 tilapia (or snapper, mahi) fillets, 1-1 1/2 lb (thawed, if needed)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Greek seasoning, divided
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup pre-diced onions
1 (14-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts (drained)
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes (drained)
1/4 cup white wine
Steps
- Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season both sides of fish with pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the Greek seasoning (wash hands).
- Place oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add garlic and onions; cook 1–2 minutes, stirring once, or until onions are slightly softened.
- Add fish fillets (wash hands). Top with remaining ingredients (including remaining 1/2 teaspoon Greek seasoning).
- Cover and cook 8–10 minutes, stirring vegetables once, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (or flesh is opaque and separates easily with a fork). Cook time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish. Serve.
