Mediterranean-style Fresh Tilapia with Greek Salad

I really have enjoyed every recipe I have tried thus far...but this one tops them all! 
If you try any recipe you have to try this greek salad! The entire meal from start to finish took 20 minutes! 

I think I have found my new favorite dish! 


Step 1: You will need 3 medium sized tomatoes and 1 large cucumber



Dice your tomatoes and cucumbers to the size below! 



Step 2: You will need pitted Kalamata olives (You can get these at the olive/antipasto bar in most grocery stores) they are delicious!  Just slice them in half! 



Step 3: You will need 1 whole lemon, cut and squeezed into a bowl. This should make about 2 tablespoons, all you need for the vinaigrette! 



Step 4: Making the vinaigrette
You will need to mix:
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small clove of garlic minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tsp red wine vinegar



After whisking the consistency should look about like this:



Step 5: Put your chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and 1/2 cup crumbled feta into a large bowl. Next drizzle it with your vinaigrette and toss to coat! 



Step 6:  Make your seasoning for the tilapia!


 You will need to whisk:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sage
1/4 teaspoon thyme 
1/4 teaspoon parsley




 Step 7: Take our your tilapia. You can use either a broiler pan or a regular baking sheet covered in foil



 Pour half your seasoning mixture on each filet and spread evenly! Then make sure to salt and pepper both filets



 Step 8: Preheat your oven to broil or 550 degrees. Cook fish for 8 minutes until white and flaky!




Now you are ready to serve!! Bon Appetit!!
