Black Pepper Tilapia

here's a simple recipe:

Ingredients:
1) Tilapia fillets
2) Fresh black pepper
3) Half a lemon
4) Extra virgin olive oil
5) Cherry tomatoes
6) Whole grain rice

Instructions: If you don't get pre-marinated ones, then you can mix together 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, fresh ground pepper and the juices from half a lemon. Let the fillets marinate in the mixture for half an hour in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, drizzle extra virgin olive oil and heat in a pan. Saute the cherry tomatoes and tilapia fillets, on each side for about 3 minutes. Cook the whole grain rice, arrange the fillets and tomatoes on the plate and serve:)
