Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb (454 grams) white fish fillets
Vegetables:
- 3 potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 lemon, sliced
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Create a flavorful base by spreading a thin layer of olive oil in a ceramic baking dish to prevent sticking and enhance taste.
- Carefully position fish fillets in the center of the dish, ensuring even spacing and allowing room for vegetables.
- Generously season fish with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, distributing the seasoning evenly across the surface.
- Arrange thinly sliced potatoes and carrots in a decorative pattern surrounding the fish, creating a colorful and rustic presentation.
- Scatter fresh lemon slices strategically around the dish to infuse citrus notes and enhance the seafood’s natural flavors.
- Drizzle additional extra virgin olive oil over the entire dish, ensuring vegetables and fish are lightly coated for moisture and richness.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, creating a sealed environment that traps steam and helps cook ingredients evenly at 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, checking fish for translucent, flaky texture and vegetables for tender consistency.
- Remove foil during the last 5 minutes to allow slight caramelization and golden edges on vegetables.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or dill just before serving to add a bright, herbaceous finish.
Notes
- Opt for firm white fish like cod or halibut to ensure the best texture and flavor absorption during baking.
- Use parchment paper underneath the fish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Cut vegetables uniformly to guarantee even cooking and consistent tenderness throughout the dish.
- Swap olive oil with coconut oil for a different flavor profile and to make the recipe suitable for those with olive oil allergies.
