Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or tilapia)
- 2 lemon
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Zest one lemon and then juice it. Set the zest and juice aside. Slice the second lemon into thin rounds for later use.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the fish fillets in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Scatter the cherry tomatoes and capers (if using) around the fish.
Pour the lemon-olive oil mixture evenly over the fish and tomatoes. Arrange the lemon slices on top of each fillet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley over the fish and tomatoes.
Serve immediately, spooning the flavorful juices from the baking dish over the fish and tomatoes. Pair with crusty bread, rice, or steamed vegetables if desired.
