How to Make Elegant Baked Fish With Tomato And Lemon

Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
Slice 1 lemon and 1 large tomato into thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick).
Lightly grease a baking dish.
Place 4 (6-ounce) white fish fillets in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until the fish begins to turn opaque and white around the edges.
Remove from oven and carefully arrange lemon and tomato slices alternately over the fish.
Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves and 2 tablespoons dry white wine (optional).
Return to oven and bake for another 3-5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillets.
