    • It's mostly hands-off time. You don't even need to flip the fish!
    • It's customizable. Have some other Mediterranean ingredients in your pantry or fridge? Add them. We make some suggestions below.

    Types of Firm White Fish

    Use your favorite boneless, skinless white fish fillets to make this recipe.

    A firm fish is perfect because it stands up well in the oven. It also takes just a bit longer to cook so that added vegetables have time to soften up and caramelize too. Plus, it's easy to use a meat thermometer in the flesh so it cooks to the perfect 145 °F temperature!

    Here are some options we've used:

    • Cobia has a mild, moist, buttery flavor. We used this and that's what you see in the pictures.
    • Cod can be described as having a mild, milky flavor.
    • Haddock is from the same family as cod, but has a slightly fishier taste.
    • Halibut is mild and has a taste similar to Tilapia
    • Pollock has a delicate sweet taste.
    • Grouper has a light sweet taste.
    • Mahi Mahi is also a good choice, has a slightly fisher taste.

    Directions with Pictures

    Here's how to do it:

    1. Preheat oven to 400 °F. Place fish fillets in a baking dish. Layer chopped artichokes and sliced cherry or grape tomatoes on top and around fish.
    2. Combine extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, pressed garlic, and salt in a small bowl. Pour it over the fish and vegetables.
    3. Bake for about 15 minutes. The exact time will vary depending upon the type and thickness of the fish. We highly recommend using a meat thermometer so that the fish does not overcook. The internal temperature should reach 145 °F.
    4. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and enjoy! The fish should be flaky and tender.

    Make it a Sheet Pan Meal

    Add vegetables that will cook alongside the fish in the oven to make it a complete meal. Use a sheet pan and double the amount of vinaigrette if adding lots of extra ingredients.

    Zucchini and asparagus are favorites at our house. If working with a heartier vegetable like cauliflower or carrots, chop it into small pieces so it will cook through.

    What to Serve With Fish

    Some favorite easy, low-carb pairings for white fish that are easily made while it cooks:

    • Zucchini Noodles - a low-carb alternative to pasta.
    • Roasted Asparagus - air fryer or oven with the fish.
    • Cauliflower Mash - ready in minutes using frozen florets.
    • Crispy Green Beans - air fryer.
    • Spinach Feta Bites - use the extra cheese to make these!

      Made this last night for dinner with cod and it was quick and easy as promised. I added basil leaves and served it with zucchini. My husband enjoyed it too which was a win at our house.

      Wife and I live near sub-tropical coast of Queensland. Fresh fish is readily available but had never eaten cobia before. Needed a recipe and found yours.
      Much enjoyed the blend of flavours. Bonus was a small wash up. Thanks
