- to taste Kosher salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 Lemon, juiced
- 8 ounces Cherry tomatoes, halved

- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tsp Dried oregano
👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
💡 Profitipps: A hot oven ensures the fish cooks quickly and remains moist. - 2
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
💡 Profitipps: Drying the fish helps to achieve a better sear or crust. - 3
Brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with a little olive oil and place the seasoned fish fillets in the dish.
💡 Profitipps: Greasing the dish prevents the fish from sticking. - 4
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the top of the fish fillets.
💡 Profitipps: Lemon juice adds brightness and helps to tenderize the fish. - 5
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, halved olives, minced red onion, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, and dried oregano.
💡 Profitipps: Using fresh herbs adds a more vibrant flavor. - 6
Add a small pinch of salt and pepper to the tomato mixture, then drizzle with about 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Toss to combine.
💡 Profitipps: Don't over-salt the mixture, as olives are already salty. - 7
Pour the tomato and olive mixture evenly over the fish fillets in the baking dish.
💡 Profitipps: Ensure the topping covers the fish well for even flavor distribution. - 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
💡 Profitipps: Avoid overcooking the fish, as it can become dry. - 9
Serve hot, with extra lemon wedges if desired.
💡 Profitipps: This dish pairs well with rice, couscous, or a fresh salad.
