Description

A light, flavorful dish featuring flaky white fish baked with juicy tomatoes, briny olives, capers, and zesty lemon, bringing the sunshine of the Mediterranean to your table.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 white fish fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 large lemon, sliced into rounds
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly oil a baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, toss together cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, capers, garlic, parsley, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread half of the vegetable mixture into the baking dish to form a base.
  4. Place fish fillets on top, layer with lemon slices, and scatter the remaining vegetables around and over the fish.
  5. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

Notes

  • Use fillets of similar thickness for even cooking.
  • Do not overbake, fish should flake easily when done.
  • For a spicy twist, add red pepper flakes to the vegetable mix.
  • Prep vegetables ahead to save time.
