Feta Tomato-Basil Fish

Easy fish recipes are hard to find.  Most great, healthy fish recipes I have made use wine, but many people are uneasy using wine in cooking.This recipe takes very little time to prepare and about 10 minutes to cook.  I paired this with a side of noodles in a store-bought, cheese pasta sauce and microwaved Italian-style green beans topped with butter and feta cheese.  Enjoy!

1/3 cup chopped onion
1 garlic cloved, minced
2 tsp olive or canola oil
1 can (14 1/2 oz) Italian diced tomatoes, drained
1-1/2 tsp minced fresh basil or 1/2 tsp dried basil
1 pound walleye, bass, or other whitefish fillet (I used Tilapia -- low priced and just as good)
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese

YIELDS 4 SERVINGS
  1. In a saucepan, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender.
  2. Add tomatoes and basil.  Bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, broil fish 4-6 in. from the heat for 5-6 minutes.
  5. Top each fillet with tomato mixture and cheese.
  6. Broil 5-7 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
