Step 2: Prepare the Marinade
In a small mixing bowl, combine:
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 minced garlic cloves
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon thyme
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Whisk everything together until the oil and lemon emulsify into a bright, aromatic marinade.
Step 3: Season the Fish
Place the fish fillets in a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking dish. Pour the marinade over the fillets, using a spoon or brush to make sure each piece is fully coated.
Step 4: Add the Vegetables
Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes, olives, and red onion slices over and around the fish. This not only adds flavor but also provides a colorful, fresh presentation.
Step 5: Bake
Transfer the dish to the oven. Bake uncovered for 15–18 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and appears opaque all the way through.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the top with fresh parsley, and serve each portion with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
