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; it has a slightly fishier 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.

What to Serve With Fish

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

• Crispy Green Beans - air fryer.
• Spinach Feta Bites - use the extra cheese to make these!
