Easy Mediterranean Baked Fish Recipe


  • Author: Jasmine
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Fish:

  • 4 fillets of white fish (such as cod, halibut, or sea bass)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

For the Mediterranean Topping:

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 lemon (sliced for garnish and juiced for flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons capers (optional)
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the fish cooks evenly and retains its moisture.

Step 2: Prepare the Fish
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Place them in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano.

Step 3: Add the Toppings
In a mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, red onion, garlic, parsley, basil, and lemon juice. Mix well. Spread this mixture evenly over the fish fillets.

Step 4: Bake the Fish
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. If using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the fish during the last 5 minutes of baking.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Remove the fish from the oven and garnish with fresh lemon slices and additional parsley or basil if desired. Serve immediately.
