Greek-Style Tilapia

There is a Greek cafe around the corner from our house that has a tilapia special on occasion. If we go for dinner, Andy always orders it. Fish cooks up very quickly, so it's great for a busy weeknight but it also feels a little bit special. I came up with my own version of the restaurant dish Andy likes so much. It comes together in about 15 minutes. I served it with Mashed Potatoes and steamed broccoli. Cost per serving: $2.50
