Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons harissa paste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup pitted green or Kalamata olives, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the harissa paste, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create a flavorful marinade.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the fish fillets in a baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer.
Spread the harissa marinade evenly over the top of each fish fillet, coating them generously.
Scatter the sliced olives and halved cherry tomatoes over and around the fish fillets.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the fish rest for 2 minutes.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the fish fillets warm with your favorite side dishes like rice, couscous, or a fresh green salad.
