In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add tilapia to the pan, cooking about 3 minutes on each side or until fish has become opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Notes

*Gluten & Dairy Free Notes: be sure your mayonnaise and ketchup are dairy and gluten free. I like Kraft olive oil mayonnaise and Hunt’s No High Fructose Corn Syrup ketchup. Also, be sure to serve it on a gluten free bun, like Udi’s or Rudi’s.
