Description
A flavorful and easy Mediterranean baked fish recipe that combines fresh herbs, fish fillets, and colorful vegetables for a delightful meal.
Ingredients
- 2 fish fillets (cod, halibut, or sea bass)
- 6 sprigs thyme, finely chopped
- 3 sprigs rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp chopped or dried parsley
- 4 garlic cloves, minced or chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup pitted olives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels and place on a plate.
- Combine olive oil, lemon juice, sweet chili sauce, thyme, rosemary, oregano, parsley, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined.
- Spoon about half of the marinade over both sides of the fish fillets, rubbing gently to coat. Place halved cherry tomatoes and pitted olives in a medium bowl, drizzle with the remaining marinade, and toss to coat.
- Assemble the baking dish: spread the marinated tomatoes and olives on the bottom. Place the marinated fish fillets on top of the vegetables.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque. Tomatoes should be softened and blistered.
- Let rest for a minute or two before serving. Spoon juices and vegetables over the fish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For a spicy kick, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes to the marinade. You can also serve with a fresh Greek salad or a tangy tzatziki.
