  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped

How to Make Baked Fish With Ratatouille

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped; 1 red bell pepper, chopped; 1 zucchini, chopped; 1 yellow squash, chopped; and 1 eggplant, chopped.
  5. Stir to combine. Cover the pot and cook vegetables for 10-12 minutes, or until they begin to soften, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Stir to mix well. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until vegetables are very tender.
  8. While the ratatouille simmers, season 4 (6-ounce) fish fillets (cod, halibut, or snapper work well) with salt and pepper.
  9. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch glass baking dish with olive oil.
  10. Place fish fillets in the prepared baking dish.
  11. Spoon the vegetable mixture evenly over the fish.
  12. Bake, uncovered, at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
