Fast Fish: Tilapia with Tomatoes and Olives

I was cleaning up some magazines a few weeks ago and found this recipe in Cooking Light. Not only did it work out perfectly for The Pantry Plan but it was healthy and ready for dinner in a flash. It is also South Beach Diet Phase 1 friendly. I served it with a side salad.

I used grape tomatoes from my garden for the tomatoes and substituted basil from my garden for the parsley the original recipe called for along with fresh rosemary from the garden.
