Roasted Tilapia, Potatoes, and Lemons
Christopher Baker
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat oven to 400° F.
Step 2
On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes, lemon, thyme, 2 tablespoons oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer.
Step 3
Roast, tossing once, until the potatoes begin to soften, about 20 minutes.
Step 4
Toss the olives with the potato mixture; nestle the fish in it. Drizzle the fish with the remaining oil and season with paprika and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Step 5
Continue to roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp and the fish is opaque throughout, 12 to 15 minutes.

The potatoes were under cooked. I roasted them an additional 20 minutes and then added the Tilapia. The olives gave a nice flavor. The fish was bland. Like previous posters, I topped with salsa for some flavor. Basically, it's a good roasted potato recipe - sans fish.

I am trying the 4-week plan to streamline my evening dinner prep and this was my first recipe. Elegant, really pretty on the plate, very easy to prepare and the cooking times are perfect for potatoes (I quartered them) and tilapia. The only thing I might do differently next time is add the lemons in a little later (some burned) or maybe mix it up with capers vs olives. Yum!

love this, so simple. my hubby wont eat olives so we replace them with sun dried tomatoes and used lemon infused olive oil instead of regular. i also added just a few fresh mint leaves, yum!

Loved the potato dish! Fish is fish to me. We usually put some salsa on top while baking to give it some flavor. I will make the potatoes again.

I used locally caught Snapper instead of Tilapia since it is a more sustainable fish. The dish was nice but don't forget to remove the lemon seeds. They will add a bitter taste.

Loved this. I picked up the tilapia at Whole Foods, frozen fish section. The flavors were so subtle. Perfect dinner. Posted it on my blog - http://bit.ly/18p1ffv

used dried thyme instead of fresh, black olives instead of kalamata, added a clove of garlic, a splash of white wine, and some extra lemon juice on top of the tilapia. it was delightful! the smell of the thyme was divine (haha) the actual fish it self was a tad bland but mixed in with everything else it worked. thumbs up for ease!

This is a great recipe. I make about every other week. It can get expensive, but I try to keep costs down by buying my tilapia in bulk at Costco. I then freeze individual filets so that I can thaw only what I need. I also use dried thyme instead of fresh because I don't really notice the difference. Lastly, after adding the olives and tilapia, I clear some room on the baking sheet and add some asparagus. I drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle some salt and pepper.

I love this. It's my standby meal when I cook for a new date. It's easy but seems fancy. The olives and wine make it very flavorful - - only downside is its expense. Also, tilapia isn't always available, but I've made it with other thin, white fish. I serve it with chard cooked with raisins.

Good recipe, fast and easy to prepare, loved by all in the family, but lacking in veggies. I steam broccoli, carrots or green beans to go with it.
