Ingredients
  

  • 5 pieces of Tilapia
  • ½ pound of cherry tomatoes cut in half

  • ½ Cup(s) fresh basil torn to pieces
  • ½ Cup(s) fresh parsley torn as well
  • ¾ Large Black Olives cut in half
  • 1 lemon juiced

Instructions

  • Bake for 13-15 minutes
  • While the veggies are baking, prepare the dressing: lemon juice, remaining 2 T of olive oil, and pepper. Set aside.
  • Remove roasted veggies from the oven and move them to the side of the pan so that the Tilapia can rest directly on the bottom of the baking dish.

    Top with reserved basil and parsley.
