Ingredients

• 250 grams fresh white fish (such as cod or halibut)
• 250 grams cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 8 pieces Italian bread, sliced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the fish fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper over the fish. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 3

While the fish is roasting, slice the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped basil, parsley, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and let it sit to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Toast the slices of Italian bread until golden and crispy. You can do this in a toaster oven, a grill pan, or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes per side.

Step 5

Once the fish is done roasting, use a fork to flake it into bite-sized pieces. Gently fold the flaked fish into the tomato mixture, being careful not to break it up too much.

Step 6

Spoon the fish and tomato mixture generously onto each toasted bread slice. Garnish with additional chopped basil, parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Step 7

Serve the Roasted Fish Bruschetta immediately as a light appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
