Method

Tilapia

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tilapia

    Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Pan-Searing the Fillets

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tilapia fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Add lemon juice during the last minute of cooking.

    In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste.

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese or diced mozzarella cheese.
