Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 4 pieces medium potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 piece red onion, finely diced
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick. Layer the potato slices evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until they start to soften slightly.
While the potatoes are baking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced red onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, lemon juice, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the mixture for 8-10 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat, and stir in half the chopped parsley.
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Lay the fish fillets on top of the partially baked potatoes. Season the fish fillets lightly with salt and pepper.
Pour the tomato mixture evenly over the fish and potatoes. If using mozzarella cheese, sprinkle it over the top for an extra cheesy layer.
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the potatoes are tender.
Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Tomato Topped Fish and Potato Bake!
