Italian Oven Baked Fish Marinara

Italian baked fish marinara is made with fresh fish filets baked in a flavorful marinara sauce enriched with fresh tomatoes, olive oil and herbs.

📝 Ingredients

• 4 thick fish fillet (1/2-1 inch thick) (I used halibut, frozen fish can be used, de-frost and towel dry before baking)
• 10-14 small roma tomatoes (seeded and cut into small pieces
• 3/4 teaspoon oregano
• 3/4 teaspoon basil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1-2 dashes hot pepper flakes (if desired)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley (7 grams)
• 3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).
2. 2In a medium bowl add, cut up seeded tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, hot pepper flakes, Italian parsley and 2½ tablespoons olive oil. Mix gently to combine.
3. 3Line a medium to large baking pan with a large enough piece of parchment paper (large enough to fold over the fish), line fish fillet (they can be touching) top fish with tomato mixture, drizzle with 1 tablespoon (15 grams) olive oil and fold the parchment paper to cover the fish.
4. 4Bake in the oven for approximately 15-20 minutes. Uncover and drain excess water, raise heat to 400F (200C) and continue to bake for another 5 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!
