Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6-8 oz each) ocean perch fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole (zested and juiced) lemon
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium (thinly sliced) red onion
- 1 pint (halved) cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup (pitted and sliced) kalamata olives
- 0.5 cup (crumbled) feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a light drizzle of olive oil.
Pat the ocean perch fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried oregano.
Pour the olive oil mixture evenly over the ocean perch fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Arrange the sliced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced kalamata olives around the fillets in the baking dish.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Remove the foil and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the fish and vegetables. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to warm the feta.
Remove the dish from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately with crusty bread or steamed rice.
