How to Make Baked Tilapia With Tomatoes Olives

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Lightly oil a shallow baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches) large enough to hold the tilapia fillets in a single layer.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, and 1 tablespoon lime juice.
4. Arrange the tilapia fillets (about 1 pound) in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down. Season generously with salt and pepper.
5. Spoon the tomato mixture evenly over the tilapia fillets.
6. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
