  • Ingredients 9
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 4 tilapia fillets (1 1/2 lb)
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 cup green tomatillo salsa
  • 1/2 cup sliced drained roasted red bell peppers (from a jar)
  • 8 green olives, pitted, sliced
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 jar (15 oz) nopales, drained, rinsed
  • Black pepper, if desired
  • 4 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Cut 4 (18x18-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil.
  • 2
    Place 1 fillet on center of each sheet. Top each with 1/4 each of the onion, salsa, roasted red peppers, olives, olive oil, nopales and black pepper. Wrap packets securely using double-fold seals, leaving a small opening so steam can escape during baking.
  • 3
    Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Sprinkle with cilantro.

  • Prevent fish from drying out by cooking it with salsa, roasted red peppers and nopales in a foil packet.
  • Nopales are the fleshy oval leaves, or pads, of the prickly pear cactus. They taste slightly tart. Look for cans of nopales in the Mexican section of your supermarket.
  • When cooked, the lean white flesh of the tilapia is sweet, mild, tender and has no "fishy" flavor. The tilapia at your market may be from a fish farm in this country or from the fresh waters of Colombia or Costa Rica.
