This recipe came about when I wanted to use my leftover homemade tomato sauce. (Link for the recipe below) I had 3 cups left in the fridge. It was my mom’s birthday, and she loves fish. I decided to put those 2 together. This dish is so simple, and doesn’t take any time at all. There’s not a whole lot of ingredients, since the tomato sauce has a lot of flavours in it already.
Ingredients:
For the fish:
2 pounds tilapia fillets, cut into 3 inch pieces
1-2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp chili flakes
1 tbsp dried mint
