Ingredients

• 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 cup Kalamata olives
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and finely grate the ginger. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 4

Place the tilapia fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Step 5

While the tilapia marinates, roughly chop the kalamata olives and finely chop the parsley. Set aside.

Step 6

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil if necessary.

Step 7

Remove the tilapia from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and place the fillets in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Transfer to a serving platter.

Step 8

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 9

Add the chopped kalamata olives and parsley to the skillet and stir for another minute to warm through.

Step 10

Spoon the garlic-ginger-olive mixture over the cooked tilapia fillets.

Step 11

Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley and a wedge of lemon if desired.
