Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fillets Fresh white fish (like cod or haddock)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 medium Sliced onion
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a baking dish with a thin brush of olive oil.
- Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, dried thyme, and paprika until combined.
- Lay sliced onions in an even layer in the baking dish and scatter the cherry tomatoes over them.
- Place the fillets on top of the vegetables and brush or spoon the seasoned oil mixture evenly over each piece.
- Let the fish sit for 5 minutes to absorb flavors if time allows.
- Bake uncovered for 12 to 18 minutes depending on thickness, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Finish under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes if you want a touch of caramelization on the tomatoes.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes; squeeze a little extra lemon if desired.
Notes
Serve with buttery mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus, or a herbed rice to soak up the tomato juices.
