Ingredients Needed To Make This Recipe

Olive Oil. High quality and neutral in flavor

Tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes
Seasoning. Dried crushed oregano, salt, paprika.
Red onions.
Rice. Optional for serving
Fresh Cilantro. Optional for garnish

I made this last night and it was so good! I used four tilapia filets, and the only other thing I changed was adding some sliced garlic (and maybe extra of some of the ingredients since I had more fish). This was so easy - I'll definitely be making it again!
