Ingredients

4 white fish fillets (such as cod, sea bass, or snapper)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 lemon, sliced into rounds

Juice of 1 lemon

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 tsp dried oregano

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

 

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare a baking dish large enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil on the bottom of the dish.

3. Arrange the fish fillets in the baking dish. Season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4. In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, and remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Pour this mixture evenly over the fish.

5. Top the fish with the lemon slices, red onion slices, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives.

6. Bake uncovered for 15–20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (Thicker fillets like cod may take a few minutes longer.)

7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
