Ingredients

• 4 pieces orange roughy fillets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 3 cloves garlic
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup white wine
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Pat the orange roughy fillets dry with paper towels and arrange them in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes (halved), 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, lemon zest, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Stir the mixture well, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

Pour the white wine evenly over the fish fillets, then spoon the tomato and herb mixture over the top, ensuring each fillet is fully covered.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top for a golden, cheesy finish.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Italian Orange Roughy with a side of crusty bread, steamed vegetables, or a simple pasta dish for a complete meal.
