How to Make Baked Mediterranean Orange Roughy

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place orange roughy fillets (or tilapia) in a baking dish.
  4. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. While the fish is baking, prepare the cherry tomatoes and olives by tossing them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

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.
