Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh white fish (such as cod or halibut)
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 8 pieces Italian bread, sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the fish fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper over the fish. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is roasting, slice the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped basil, parsley, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and let it sit to allow the flavors to meld.
Toast the slices of Italian bread until golden and crispy. You can do this in a toaster oven, a grill pan, or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes per side.
Once the fish is done roasting, use a fork to flake it into bite-sized pieces. Gently fold the flaked fish into the tomato mixture, being careful not to break it up too much.
Spoon the fish and tomato mixture generously onto each toasted bread slice. Garnish with additional chopped basil, parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Serve the Roasted Fish Bruschetta immediately as a light appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
