Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or snapper)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, kosher salt, minced garlic, and dried oregano.
Place the fish fillets in an oven-safe baking dish. Pour the olive oil and lemon mixture over the fish, making sure they are well coated.
Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives around the fish in the baking dish.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the dish from the oven and garnish the fish with freshly chopped parsley and dill.
Serve warm, paired with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or a Greek salad for a complete meal.
