Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 15 ounces crushed tomatoes (canned)
- 1 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cups breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the fish fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, and sugar. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the tomato sauce to a baking dish and spread it evenly across the bottom.
Place the seasoned fish fillets on top of the tomato sauce in a single layer.
In a small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture and combine well.
Sprinkle the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
Serve hot with crusty bread, rice, or a green salad.
