Main Ingredients
  • 4 white fish fillets (e.g., cod or halibut)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • Small Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Baking dish

Method
 

Prepare the oven and fish
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F for even cooking. Arrange the white fish fillets in a single layer in a baking dish to ensure they cook uniformly.
Make the marinade
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, coriander, and cumin. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the dish
  1. Pour the prepared olive oil mixture evenly over the fish fillets, ensuring they’re well coated. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes around the fish.
Bake to perfection
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the fish is cooked through. Look for fillets that flake easily and remain moist.
Garnish and serve
  1. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the fish before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!
