Mediterranean Fish Over Potatoes
Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups refrigerated homestyle sliced potatoes
1/3 cup water
6 kalamata (or pitted black) olives
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 lb tilapia (cod, snapper, or sole) fillets; thawed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 (14.5-oz) can herb/garlic diced tomatoes
1/4 cup crumbled tomato/basil feta cheese
Steps
- Place oil in large sauté pan, add potatoes and water, then cover; cook and stir on medium-high 5–6 minutes or until potatoes are tender and water is absorbed. Remove pits from olives; chop olives coarsely.
- Reduce heat to medium. Arrange potatoes evenly into a single layer; sprinkle with olives, salt, and pepper. Place fish (darker side up) on potatoes. Squeeze juice of one half lemon over fish.
- Drain tomatoes very thoroughly (press tightly to remove as much liquid as possible). Spread tomatoes over fish and sprinkle with feta cheese, then cover; cook 4–6 minutes, without turning or stirring, or until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
- Reduce heat to low and remove cover; cook 1–2 minutes to allow any extra liquid to evaporate. Serve.
