Tilapia meat is so tender that it's sometimes called the "chicken of the sea." It's perfect for a diet or a light dinner for those looking for a healthy meal, as it's high in protein and low in fat. To preserve all the tilapia's properties, it's recommended to bake it in a foil packet. This method also allows the fish to retain its juices and absorb the flavors of the vegetables baked alongside it. Serve tilapia with vegetables or a side of fragrant rice.

Ingredients:

• 2 pieces of tilapia fillet, 180 g each.
• 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 plum tomatoes, chopped
• 1 small shallot, chopped
• 2 tsp chopped thyme

Preparation:

Step 1
• Place each piece of fish on a separate piece of foil. The foil should be a few centimeters longer than the fillets. Drizzle the fish with olive oil.
  
  In a small bowl, combine the garlic, tomatoes, shallots, thyme, and a little salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture over each piece of fish.
Step 2
• Preheat oven to 230°C.
  
  Wrap the fillets and seal the edges with foil. Place the wraps on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes. When the fish is done, unwrap it, top it with your favorite sauce, and serve.
