Marissa's MediterraneanA vibrant, one-pan white fish dinner featuring blistered cherry tomatoes, briny kalamata olives, and a zesty lemon-caper finish.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grab a large cast iron skillet or a rimmed baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, and sliced garlic with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of oregano.
Season the sea bass fillets on both sides with sea salt, pepper, and the remaining oregano.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the fish for 2 minutes on one side until golden. Flip the fillets carefully.
Don't move the fish until it releases easily from the pan!
Scatter the tomato and olive mixture around the fish in the skillet. Top the fillets with lemon slices.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the fish is opaque and the tomatoes have burst.
Remove from the oven, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and shower with chopped parsley before serving.
This is the ultimate 'too tired to cook' dinner that still feels like a five-star meal. The secret is the high heat—it blisters the tomatoes into a natural sauce that coats the fish perfectly. If you can't find sea bass, any flaky white fish like cod or halibut works beautifully! Serving this with a side of crusty whole-wheat bread is mandatory for soaking up those juices. Healthy made easy, right?
