Ingredients

• 4 pieces red snapper fillets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 whole lemon
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives (pitted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets on a large baking dish.

Step 3

Finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 4

Zest and juice the lemon. Combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk together to create the marinade.

Step 5

Evenly pour the marinade over the red snapper fillets, making sure they are well-coated. Allow the fish to marinate for 5-10 minutes.

Step 6

Halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the parsley and dill.

Step 7

Scatter the cherry tomatoes and kalamata olives around the fish in the baking dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped parsley and dill over the fillets and vegetables.

Step 9

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a side of crusty bread, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
