Ingredients
Scale
- 1–1 1/2 lbs skinless corvina fillets (or similar flaky white fish)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tbsp capers, rinsed
- Juice of 1 orange
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly brush a casserole dish or oven-safe pan with olive oil.
- Pat the fish dry. Brush lightly with olive oil on both sides.
- Season both sides of the corvina fillets with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.
- Place the seasoned fish in the prepared dish.
- Scatter halved cherry tomatoes, capers, and smashed garlic evenly over and around the fish.
- Squeeze orange and lemon juice over the top, and pour the white wine around (not directly on) the fish.
- Add the rosemary and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for 18–25 minutes, until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from the oven. Discard the rosemary and garnish with fresh herbs before serving with lemon wedges.
- ENJOY!
Notes
- Use fillets that are similar in thickness so the fish cooks evenly. Thicker pieces may need an extra 3–5 minutes in the oven.
- Bake just until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Overbaking will dry out white fish quickly.
- If using frozen fish, thaw completely and pat very dry before seasoning to prevent excess liquid in the casserole dish.
- Covering the dish while baking helps keep the fish tender and allows the tomatoes to break down into a light sauce. You can uncover for the last 3–5 minutes if you prefer a slightly more concentrated finish.
- This recipe works with corvina, cod, snapper, halibut, sea bass, grouper, or any firm white fish. Adjust baking time based on thickness.
- Be sure to spoon the sauce over the fish when serving.
