Finding dinnertime meals that are both delicious and healthy and take very little time is a goal for us all.  This is especially important if you like to serve your family and/or friends variety time after time.

With this goal in mind, I went to work to find a great recipe for our evening meal.  I thought about the cherries I had left over after I prepared the Cherry Chutney.  We were enjoying new recipes using cherries, so I thought I’d use them with Tilapia since I had some fresh filets in the fridge.  Tilapia is quite healthy offering Niacin, Phosphorus and Selenium, and it’s a very good source of Protein, Vitamin B12.

After checking out what I already had on hand, my new recipe was complete. It was a big dinnertime hit and was as good for lunch the following day.  This recipe calls for wine.  I used a Pinot Blanc from Santa Barbara, California.  The reason I chose this specific wine was that I served it with dinner.  You can use any Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc and there won’t be any noticeable difference.

If you love fish and tomatoes and some pretty tasty spices, you will surely love this dish.  I plan to make it again before cherry season ends.  Here you go:

Serves:  4

Prep:  Approx. 1/2 hour

Serve with Vegetables and Rice.
