Fish with lemon tomato butter sauce

This was a fish dinner that Blake really liked. It got a little crispy on top and had a lot of flavor. Saw the recipe on foodgawker, as usual.


Ingredients:

Tilapia
tomato paste
lemon
onion
butter
salt, pepper, olive oil
On the bottom of a deep-sided baking dish, sprinkle a few slices of onion, a few cut up olives, a heavy drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. On top of that, lay a nice size fish fillet that has been seasoned with salt and pepper and a drizzle of Olive oil. On top of the fish, lay a few slices of lemon.
Cook in a preheated 350F oven for about 20 minutes.

While the fish is cooking, mix about 2 tbls of softened butter with 2 tbls. of tomato paste. Remove the fish from the oven after 20 minutes and brush the Tomato Butter all over the fish.
Return the fish to the oven and cook for about 8 minutes more for the butter to caramelize and help create a buttery sauce for the fish. Remove and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Serve the fish with the sauce from the pan. It's healthy, fast, fresh and looks a lot more complicated than it is; as they applaud, just smile and nod.
