Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams cherry tomatoes
- 4 fillets whitefish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or halibut)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 15 leaves fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon lemon, sliced into wedges
- 1 sheet or spray parchment paper or non-stick spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the tomatoes and sprinkle them with half the salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat the tomatoes evenly.
Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly blistered.
While the tomatoes are roasting, season the whitefish fillets with the remaining salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Carefully place the whitefish fillets in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until a light golden crust forms.
Remove the skillet from heat and add the roasted cherry tomatoes and their juices over the whitefish fillets.
Return the entire skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish the dish with freshly chopped basil leaves.
Serve the whitefish fillets with the roasted cherry tomatoes on top, accompanied by lemon wedges for squeezing.
Enjoy this vibrant and healthy dish with a side of crusty bread or steamed vegetables.
