    2 green tomatoes, diced
    1 tablespoon capers
    1 pinch dried basil
    salt and ground black pepper to taste
    1 1/2 pounds tilapia fillets
    1 tablespoon olive oil

Preparation
    Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes, green tomatoes, capers, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
    Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper.
    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tilapia fillets; cook until flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter.
    Pour lemon juice into the skillet; swirl to pick up browned bits off the bottom of the skillet, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour over fillets.
    Spoon tomato mixture over fillets before serving.
