Cajun spices, tomatoes, onions and peppers give any white fish extra pizazz and a little kick. Super easy and quick!

I try to incorporate fish in my diet at least twice a week, to keep it exciting I like to prepare it in different ways. This recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight meal, you can use any white fish such as sole or flounder. Serve this with brown rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious sauce.

Zuzu’s Notes: The original Skinnytaste recipe called for flounder, but we found that it tasted much better using Tilapia, but as you can see from the recipe any white fish should work.

Ingredients:

1 tsp olive oil
4 (6 oz) pieces tilapia fillets (or any white fish such as flounder)
3/4 cup onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup diced green bell pepper
2 1/2 cups tomatoes, chopped
1 tbsp Cajun spice seasoning

Directions:

In a deep skillet, cook onion and garlic in olive oil on medium heat for a few minutes until soft. Add tomatoes, peppers and spices, stir and cook until tomatoes are soft, about 2-3 minutes.

Lay fish fillets in the sauce, cover and cook on medium-low until fish flakes easily, approx 12-15. To serve, place fish on plate and spoon sauce on top. Serve immediately.
