Mediterranean Baked Fish with Tomatoes offers a simple flavorful way to enjoy a healthy meal rich in fresh vibrant ingredients

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 white fish fillets (such as cod, sea bass, or snapper), about 6 oz each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (or fish stock)
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is key—it’s hot enough to cook the fish quickly without drying it out.
  • In a baking dish, toss the cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, olive oil, oregano, chili flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Spread everything evenly to form a fragrant base for the fish.
  • Place the fish fillets on top of the tomato mixture. Nestle lemon slices over the fillets to keep the fish juicy and add citrus aroma.
  • Pour the white wine around the dish (not directly on the fish) to keep the mixture moist and add subtle tang.
  • Bake uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, depending on thickness. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork but remains tender.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of green and freshness to every serving.
  • Notes

    Mediterranean Baked Fish with Tomatoes is a bright, healthy, and super flavorful dish. The tomatoes break down into a rich, tangy sauce that seeps into every flaky bite of fish, complemented by garlic, herbs, and lemon. This recipe is simple to prepare but tastes like you spent hours perfecting it.
