Baked Tilapia Fillet


We had this for lunch yesterday and it turned out pretty well even my kids liked it considering that they're a little picky with what they eat. When I did this dish I had the idea of cooking it the same way we made grilled bangus back home in the Philippines. The aroma of tomatoes, onion and garlic on the broiler is just so wonderful my kids often came to the kitchen asking what was I cooking and exclaiming "It's (smells) delicious mommy".

Ingredients;

2 tbsp. calamansi juice
salt
pepper
3 tomatoes sliced
1/2 onion sliced
4 cloves garlic sliced into thin slivers
1 medium knob of ginger sliced

Marinate fillets with calamansi juice, salt and pepper for at least 15 min. Mix tomatoes, onion, ginger and half of the garlic season with a little salt. Brush the aluminum foil with butter place half of the tomato mixture and then one fillet on top. Brush the fish with butter and sprinkle half of the remaining garlic. Wrap and seal the foil. Do the same with the other fish fillet. Bake for 15-20 min. at 375. Open the foil and bake for another 5 min. or until the garlic flakes become toasted.
