Sprinkle tilapia with salt and place on top of tomato sauce. Cover and cook until fish is opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes. Drizzle with remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

Easy and delicious. I think you could use any fish with this. I uses Mahi Mahi. Very good. Made no changes to the original recipe.

I'm not sure why I'm reviewing this recipe since I only loosely used it as a foundation. I knew I wanted to have fish (swai) and I wanted to use some yellow cherry tomatoes I had roasted and frozen last summer. AND I wanted it to be somewhat Mexican so I used oregano in place of thyme, green olives instead of black and sprinkled cilantro on top in lieu of parsley. I served this concoction over brown rice with sliced avocado alongside as a garnish. It was quite tasty and I'm making these notes so that I can remember what I did. I will eventually try the original recipe :)
