Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6-8 oz each) ocean perch fillets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole (zested and juiced) lemon
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium (thinly sliced) red onion
• 1 pint (halved) cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup (pitted and sliced) kalamata olives
• 0.5 cup (crumbled) feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a light drizzle of olive oil.

Step 2

Pat the ocean perch fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried oregano.

Step 4

Pour the olive oil mixture evenly over the ocean perch fillets, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 5

Arrange the sliced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced kalamata olives around the fillets in the baking dish.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the foil and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the fish and vegetables. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to warm the feta.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately with crusty bread or steamed rice.
