Description
A quick, vibrant Mediterranean-style baked white fish with juicy tomatoes, briny olives, garlic, and fresh herbs—seared for flavor and baked to flaky perfection in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
1 lb white fish fillets (such as basa, cod, snapper, or halibut)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp Cajun or Old Bay seasoning
½ tsp chili flakes
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup olives (Kalamata or green), pitted and halved
1 medium onion, diced
2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
2 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 Tbsp dried oregano
¼ cup olive oil (for veggies)
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil (2 Tbsp), paprika, Italian seasoning, Cajun seasoning, chili flakes, salt, pepper, and garlic.
Pat fish dry; rub marinade onto both sides of fillets. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, toss cherry tomatoes, olives, onion, thyme, parsley, oregano, olive oil (¼ cup), and lemon juice.
Spread veggie mixture evenly in an oven-safe skillet or baking dish.
Nestle fish fillets on top of veggies; drizzle any remaining marinade over fish.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature ~145 °F/63 °C).
Let rest 5 minutes. Serve fish atop veggies, spooning pan juices over fish.
