Baked Fish with Mediterranean Salsa
Flaky white fish gets baked and topped with a vibrant Mediterranean salsa made of olives, tomatoes, and feta cheese. This colorful, healthy dish is easy to prepare and bursting with flavor.
Servings: 2
Total Time: 20 minutes
Materials
- 2 fish fillets (cod or tilapia, 6 oz each)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1: Prepare the Mediterranean Salsa
In a medium-sized bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, sliced kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Gently toss until well mixed, allowing the flavors to blend. Set aside to let the salsa marinate for a few minutes.
Step 2: Season and Bake the Fish
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the fish fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 3: Top with Salsa
Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Spoon the prepared Mediterranean salsa generously over the top of each fish fillet.
Ensure the salsa is evenly distributed so the fresh ingredients complement the fish perfectly.
Step 4: Serve
Serve the baked fish with the Mediterranean salsa immediately. Pair it with a side of rice, quinoa, or sautéed vegetables for a complete and nutritious meal.
This fresh, flavorful dish is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress.
