Worthy of a Special Occasion

The mild tilapia is a perfect foil for the bright, zesty salsa. Serve a green salad and roasted asparagus on the side to make this dinner a celebration of healthy ingredients.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fish fillet and 1/4 cup salsa)

Ingredients

  • 1  cup  chopped tomato
  • 1/4  cup  chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1  tablespoon  capers, drained
  • 1  tablespoon  white wine vinegar
  • 1/2  teaspoon  anchovy paste
  • 2  garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2  tablespoons  extravirgin olive oil, divided
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt, divided
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 4  (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

Preheat broiler.

Combine the first 6 ingredients in a medium bowl, and stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.

Brush fish with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Arrange fish in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with salsa.
