recipe: tilapia and diced tomato bake


this was such a throw-together meal i don't think it really constitutes a recipe... but it was a good (and healthy) week night dinner that was also tasty, so it's a win in my book. 

ingredients list: 
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes with jalapeno, excess liquid drained*
- 1/2 white onion, diced
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 zucchini, diced
- parmesan cheese

to make: 
pour half of the diced tomatoes into the bottom of a glass baking dish, along with onion. add tilapia fillets on top of the tomatoes, then pour in the remaining diced tomatoes, and season with oregano, garlic powder, and salt & pepper.

i sauteed my zucchini separately over medium heat and added it on top of the fish at end, since i prefer my zucchini a bit crisp, although it could be baked in the dish as well. 

top with cheese when it comes out of the oven, and serve over quinoa or rice. 

*as you can see in the picture, i didn't drain my tomatoes, so i ended up with quite a bit of moisture as the tilapia cooked down :(
