This easy tilapia pomodoro dinner is something that my friend showed me along time ago and one that my family loves. Only a few ingredients for an easy weekday meal.

This week on Sunday Supper we are sharing our favorite seafood recipes. I immediately thought of this easy tilapia pomodoro dinner that my family eats at least 2 -3 times a month. It’s not the most beautiful dish but boy is it tasty. I’ve been making it for years and first learned about it from my friend Carina. 

The pomodoro in the title is merely a way to disguise the fact that I am using stewed tomatoes. For some reason stewed tomatoes just does not sound appealing to me. In all honesty my family calls this Carina fish.  Besides the taste, the best thing about this dish is that it’s very easy to make. I always have breadcrumbs and canned tomatoes (stewed and diced) in the pantry as well as fish in the freezer. So I can whip up this dish with my eyes closed these days.

Basically you dip your tilapia filets in egg and then a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. You can use panko breadcrumbs or Italian. I use whichever I have on hand. Then you brown them in a pan with a little olive oil. Lastly you pour over a can of stewed tomatoes and a can of diced tomatoes. Cover and let it simmer for 10 minutes and then take off the lid and cook the tomatoes down. See how easy? But don’t let that fool you,  it really is delicious.

We like to eat this over yellow rice. Another weird thing we call my rice. My mother and grandmother have always added a bit of turmeric to their rice to give it that yellow color so that is how I usually make it. I don’t know the reason why. I’m guessing it looks more appealing? It doesn’t really change the flavor in anyway and you don’t have to use yellow rice to eat this dish. I use yellow rice with my eggplant beef stew and my green bean stew, both recipes from my mom and grandma.
