  • 4 fillets white fish (like cod or tilapia)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken or fish stock
  • 2 tbsp butter

Equipment

  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Prep the ingredients by chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, and slicing the lemon; set aside the cherry tomatoes.
  2. In a large, oven-safe pan, heat olive oil over medium heat, add the chopped onion, and sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Place the fish fillets in the pan, skin-side down; arrange lemon slices and cherry tomatoes around the fish, then pour in the chicken or fish stock.
  5. Transfer the pan to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven, add the butter to melt over the fish, and sprinkle fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

Choose high-quality, fresh fish for the best flavor. Consider adding a splash of white wine to the stock for added depth. If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. For a little kick, consider adding red pepper flakes or jalapeños to the dish.
