Lemony Fish and Tomatoes
Ingredients
8 sprigs fresh Italian parsley (rinsed)
2 fresh garlic cloves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces pre-diced onions (1 1/2 cups)
4 firm, white fish filets (like cod or haddock; thawed, if needed), 20–24 oz
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 lemons (for juice, rinsed)
1 large, ripe tomato (rinsed)
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Chop parsley coarsely; set aside. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Chop garlic finely.
- Place oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add garlic and onions; cook 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, or until onions begin to soften. Meanwhile, season both sides of fish with salt and pepper; arrange fish in single layer in 2-quart baking dish (wash hands).
- Squeeze juice of one and one-half lemons over fish. Slice tomato thinly; arrange slices in overlapping layer on fish. Sprinkle with parsley.
- Spoon onion mixture over tomatoes. Squeeze juice of remaining one-half lemon over onions. Bake 10–15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (or fish is opaque and separates easily with a fork). Cook time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish. Serve.
