Tasty Tilapia with Tomatoes & Polenta

Étape 1

Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper & add the cherry tomatoes. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the sheet tray. Add the tilapia to the center of the sheet tray & turn to coat the fish in the oil.

Étape 2

Grate the garlic onto the tomatoes & toss to combine. Season everything with salt & pepper.

Étape 3

Add a few dabs of butter to the tilapia. Add two lemon slices onto the tilapia (optional). Place the sheet tray in the oven & bake for 15-18 min or until the fish is cooked through & flaky.

Étape 4

Meanwhile, add the polenta & water (or vegetable stock if you have any) to a pot on high heat. For every 1/4 cup of polenta, add 1 cup of liquid. Bring the liquid to a boil, then lower it to a simmer & stir continuously until the polenta has thickened, about 3-4 min.

Étape 5

Add a dab of butter & the heavy cream to the pot. Season the polenta with salt & pepper. Whisk & cook for 1 more min. Remove from the heat & set aside.

Étape 6

Remove the sheet tray from the oven. Serve the polenta on a dish topped with the tilapia & cherry tomatoes. Season to taste & garnish with fresh herbs if you have any.
