- Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Coat bottom of a medium baking dish with 4 tablespoons olive oil.
- In a small bowl, blend remaining olive oil, tomato puree, garlic granules, oregano, salt and pepper.
- Arrange tilapia fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin side up. With a spatula, spread the olive oil and tomato puree mixture over the tilapia, heaping the majority in the centres of the fillets. Arrange onion and green pepper slices on and around the fillets.
- Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes, until fish is easily flaked with a fork. Remove from heat, top each fillet with 1/4 of the butter and grill for 5 to 7 minutes, until butter is melted and lightly brown.

After reading the othe reviews, I made the following changes and everyone loved this dish: 1. I marinated the fish in Italian dressing for about 1 hour, 2. I used no-stick cooking spray on the pan, 3. used 1/4 cup low fat/low sodium chicken broth in the sauce instead of oil, 3. decreased the butter to about 1/4T per filet. - 06 Feb 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

This is delicious and so easy. I used fresh herbs from my garden and eliminated the butter, to cut the fat. I drizzled olive oil on the fish prior to broiling. Keep cooking time to a minimum, as overcooked tilapia turns leathery. - 25 Oct 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
