Recipe View 0 mins Serve: Serve the tilapia immediately, spooning the tomato and olive sauce generously over each fillet. Pairs well with steamed vegetables, a fresh salad, or crusty bread for soaking up the flavorful sauce.

For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Fresh herbs like basil or oregano, chopped and stirred in at the end, add a bright, aromatic finish.
If fresh corn is not available, you can substitute frozen corn kernels. Add them directly to the sauce without thawing.
To ensure even cooking, choose tilapia fillets that are of similar thickness.
This dish can also be made with other types of white fish, such as cod or snapper. Adjust cooking time accordingly.

    This recipe is so easy and delicious! I love how the sweetness of the corn balances the acidity of the tomatoes.
