Greek Feta Stuffed Fish with Tomatoes and Black Olives

by | Feb 8, 2022 | Recipes

Tender white fish fillets rolled around creamy imported feta, topped with juicy tomato slices and briny Kalamata olives, then baked in a bright lemon-white wine sauce this Stuffed White Fish with Feta Cheese is an elegant yet surprisingly simple dish that brings Mediterranean flavors straight to your table.Inspired by a beloved recipe from the now-closed restaurant “The Monk’s Vineyard” in St. Augustine, Florida, this dish was ahead of its time. Mild tilapia (or any similar white fish) pairs beautifully with the tangy feta and fresh toppings, creating a restaurant-quality meal that’s easy enough for weeknights yet impressive for guests.

1 pound/450g tilapia fillets divided into 4 pieces
