I made this delicious fish for dinner last night. I did not have the Italian style diced tomatoes .... only had fire roasted diced tomatoes on hand, so I added a bit of olive oil, Italian seasoning and garlic powder to the tomatoes. Also, I did not drain them before spooning over the fish. Other than that, I made the recipe as posted. The fish was perfectly done and the Italian flavors were a pleasant change from other recipes I've tried. Next time I may try to make this dish using chicken breasts instead of fish. 5 stars for sure!!

I found this to be a simple and delicious recipe! I didn't have green pepper on hand! I did use a shredded Italian 5-cheese blend, rather than Parmesan cheese and four tilapia filets. Also, I didn't drain the tomatoes-I just spooned the tomatoes and juice over the fish. Thank you for sharing this recipe! delowenstein
