Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 2 whole lemon
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the white fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Zest one of the lemons and then juice it, setting both aside. Slice the second lemon into thin rounds.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic cloves (you can mince them using a garlic press), salt, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together to form a marinade.
Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle each fillet with the lemon herb marinade and ensure they are evenly coated.
Scatter the chopped parsley and dill over the fish. Place the lemon slices and halved cherry tomatoes around and on top of the fish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
