MEDITERRANEAN TILAPIA (WEIGHT WATCHERS 4 POINTS)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven (or toaster oven) to 400.
• Line a shallow pan with foil. Use enough foil so that you can double it back over the top of the dish when it is ready to cook.
• Pour olive oil in a fish-size line on the foil. Place fish on top of oil, flipping it over to coat all of the fish in the oil.
• Spritz fish with lemon juice (use more or less, to your taste).
• Rub garlic across the top of the filet so it is evenly distributed.
• Sprinkle feta over the fish evenly. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Fold the foil (loosely) over the fish. This isn't critical, but it does help keep the fish moist if you should happen to overcook it.
• Bake for 6-7 minutes. Test fish for doneness by flaking with a fork. Flakes should fall apart effortlessly; you shouldn't have to "cut" the fish at all, but rather just separate the flakes.
• Some people might prefer to leave the foil off the top if they want the garlic to brown up a bit. I haven't tried this, so I can't say how it would work. You might try removing the foil in the last 2 minutes of cooking or so if you want to give it a shot.
