How to Prepare Healthy Mediterranean Baked Fish

While the full recipe instructions are available below, here are some tips to consider when preparing this Mediterranean baked fish recipe.

• First, we will prepare our vegetables. In a large bowl, toss together your red onion, fresh tomatoes, whole cloves garlic, and mushrooms in olive oil until evenly coated. Spread the veggies in a shallow baking dish and place the lemon slices in the dish as well. Place in a preheated oven to cook for approximately ten minutes while we prepare our fresh fish.
• While the veggies cook, whisk together a little more olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Take your white fish fillet and dry it with a paper towel. Brush the olive oil mixture over the fish to coat it evenly. Remove the baking dish from the oven and place fish on top of the veggies. Sprinkle olives and feta cheese on top of the fish. Bake in the oven for approximately ten to twelve minutes. Broil for another two to three and remove once the fish flakes easily at the thickest part of the fish.

Serve your fish dinner over a bed of rice, top with chopped fresh parsley and enjoy!
