Ingredients

• 4 fillets white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or tilapia)
• 2 large ripe tomatoes
• 1 large navel orange
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup water or fish stock
• 4 wedges lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds and set aside. Zest the orange, then slice it into thin rounds, reserving the zest for garnish.

Step 3

Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Coarsely chop the parsley and set both aside.

Step 4

In a large, deep skillet or a wide saucepan with a lid, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread it evenly across the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Lay half of the orange slices and half of the tomato slices in a single layer on the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Place the fish fillets on top of the orange and tomato slices. Season the fish with the remaining salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Top the fish with the remaining orange slices, tomato slices, and the chopped garlic. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over everything.

Step 8

Pour the water or fish stock into the skillet around the fish, being careful not to pour it directly over the fillets.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and turn the heat to medium. Allow the fish to steam gently for about 15-20 minutes, or until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Once cooked, carefully transfer the fish and the orange-tomato mixture to serving plates. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and reserved orange zest for garnish.

Step 11

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired. This dish pairs well with steamed rice or a fresh green salad.
