Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a large baking dish with a drizzle of olive oil.
Place the white fish fillets in a single layer in the baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic.
Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the lemon juice. Sprinkle with dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned vegetable mixture evenly around and over the fish fillets in the baking dish.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top for additional flavor and moisture.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap the steam during cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Optional: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and an extra layer of flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy your Healthy Fish Bake alongside a side of quinoa, brown rice, or a fresh green salad.
