Baked Branzino Fillets with Cherry Tomatoes & Olives

Serves 4 Bake

Ingredients

  • 4 branzino fillets, skin on
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup pitted Kalamata olives
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Kosher salt, black pepper, and torn fresh basil

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss tomatoes, olives, garlic, oregano, and 2 Tbsp oil in a baking dish; roast 10 minutes.
  2. Season the fillets, nestle them skin-side up over the tomatoes, and drizzle with the remaining oil.
  3. Bake 12–14 minutes, until the fish flakes easily.
  4. Scatter with basil and serve with the pan juices.

Chef's tip

Serve straight from the dish with crusty bread — the juices are the best part.
