Creating your Mediterranean Baked Fish is as easy as following these straightforward steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare it for baking.
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Arrange the Vegetables: On the bottom of the dish, spread out the sliced red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
4. Season the Fish: Place the fish fillets on top of the vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, and thyme.
5. Add Lemon: Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the fish. Optionally, place lemon slices on top for added flavor and visual appeal.
6. Bake the Fish: Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
7. Uncover and Bake Further: After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the fish is flaky and cooked through.
8. Garnish: Once done, remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top before serving.
