Ingredients

• 4 pieces catfish fillets

• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over the catfish fillets, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade.

Step 5

Scatter the cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, and red onion slices around and on top of the fillets.

Step 6

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables.

Step 7

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the catfish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and freshly chopped parsley over the top.

Step 9

Serve the Greek Catfish hot, garnished with lemon wedges. Pair it with a side of rice, roasted potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
