Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces red snapper fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives (pitted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets on a large baking dish.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Zest and juice the lemon. Combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk together to create the marinade.
Evenly pour the marinade over the red snapper fillets, making sure they are well-coated. Allow the fish to marinate for 5-10 minutes.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the parsley and dill.
Scatter the cherry tomatoes and kalamata olives around the fish in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and dill over the fillets and vegetables.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a side of crusty bread, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
