Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or sea bass)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large ripe tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds and finely chop the garlic. Thinly slice the red onion.
In a baking dish, drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil to coat the bottom. Lay the fish fillets in the dish in a single layer.
Season the fish with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
Arrange the tomato slices and red onion around and on top of the fish fillets.
Sprinkle the chopped garlic, dried oregano, and parsley over the fish and vegetables.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and lemon juice over the top for added flavor.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the fish is tender and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with crusty bread or a side of roasted vegetables, drizzled with any juices from the baking dish.
