Ingredients

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 2 cups Cherry or plum tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (or substitute with dried thyme)
• 1 piece Lemon, juiced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets with a paper towel. Season both sides of the fish with half of the salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.

Step 3

Wash and halve the cherry or plum tomatoes. Arrange them on one side of the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, half the minced garlic, and the fresh thyme leaves. Drizzle the mixture over the tomato halves and sprinkle them with a pinch of salt.

Step 5

Place the seasoned fish fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with the juice of one lemon and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with the remaining garlic.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the fish rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the fish and roasted tomatoes to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and an optional squeeze of extra lemon juice.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a simple green salad.
