Recipe View While the tilapia is baking, prepare your salad greens. Once the tilapia is ready, carefully remove it from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two. Serve each fillet over a bed of fresh mixed salad greens.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the balsamic-onion mixture for a touch of heat.
If you don't have Gorgonzola cheese on hand, feel free to substitute with another blue cheese or even crumbled feta for a tangier flavor.
To prevent the tilapia from drying out, you can tent the baking dish with foil during the first half of the baking time.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished dish adds a bright, zesty finish.
This dish pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
