So delicious - chop the olives coarsely so you get a little of the saltiness in very bite. The sauce is delicious over pasta too.

This is a great tilapia recipe. Super easy and healthy. I've made it three times. I added more olives and sliced them in half. And once when I had some leftover bell peppers to use up I tossed them in with the onion and that was good too. I serve mine with couscous and it's great.
