Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or sea bass)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cups kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 4 slices lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Stir in the kalamata olives, lemon juice, ground cumin, and dried oregano. Season with salt and black pepper.
Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Push the tomato mixture to the sides of the skillet, creating space in the center for the fish fillets.
Rub the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fish fillets and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Place the fish fillets in the center of the skillet, spooning some of the tomato mixture over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley and basil.
Serve the Mediterranean White Fish with lemon slices on the side for garnish, if desired.
