Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces firm white fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the fish fillets in a single layer.
Place the fish fillets in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. If using red pepper flakes, add them to the mixture for extra heat.
Drizzle the olive oil mixture evenly over the fish fillets, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated.
Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes around and on top of the fish fillets. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese generously over the fish and tomatoes.
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Once out of the oven, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a burst of color and herbs.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
