Smothered Tilapia - cooking recipe

    1 lb tilapia fillet, thawed if necessary
    1 tablespoon butter
    salt and pepper
    4 -5 roma tomatoes, chopped

    1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaf
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    2/3 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 450\u00b0.
    Place fish fillets on a lightly greased shallow pan.
    Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper.
    Dot with butter.
    In a bowl, combine tomato, onion, basil, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. (This should resemble bruschetta topping in consistency and taste.)
    Spoon over fish.
    Bake fish for about 8-10 minutes, or until it flakes easily when tested with a fork.
    Turn off oven.
    Sprinkle fish with cheese and return to oven just to melt the cheese.
