ELEGANT BAKED FISH WITH TOMATO AND LEMON
This recipe is healthy, simple, and elegant enough for a party. It originally came from a restaurant in the Napa Valley of California. This cooks fast, so have the rest of your dishes ready or nearly ready by the time you put the fish in the oven. I have used tilapia but any white fish fillets should work.

BAKED FISH AND POTATOES WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC
Steps:
- 1. Turn on the oven to 400°F.
- 2. Place the potato wedges in the baking dish, pour 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over them, add 2 sprigs of rosemary, all the garlic cloves, and salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly. Put the dish in the preheated oven.
- 3. After 15 minutes, remove the dish to turn the potatoes over, then put it back in the oven. Cook until the potatoes feel tender when tested with a fork, another 10 minutes or so.
- 4. Remove the dish from the oven. Push the potatoes to the sides, making room in the center for the fish fillet to lie flat.
- 5. Wash the fish fillet, pat it dry with paper towels, and lay it flat in the dish, skin side down. Strip the leaves from the remaining rosemary sprigs, scatter them over the fish, add salt and pepper, and sprinkle the bread crumbs and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the fillet. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 14 minutes. Let the dish settle out of the oven for 3 to 4 minutes before bringing it to the table.
Tips:
- Selecting the Right Fish: Choose a firm-fleshed fish that can withstand baking, such as salmon, cod, or tilapia.
- Preparing the Fish: Clean and gut the fish, then pat it dry with paper towels. Score the fish's skin in several places to help the marinade penetrate.
- Creating a Flavorful Marinade: Combine herbs, spices, citrus juice, and olive oil to create a marinade that complements the fish. Marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Roasting the Vegetables: Cut potatoes, carrots, and onions into uniform pieces. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast in the oven until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Assembling the Dish: Place the marinated fish on top of the roasted vegetables. Add lemon slices and herbs for extra flavor. Cover the dish with foil or parchment paper to create a moist cooking environment.
- Baking the Fish: Bake the fish in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the foil or parchment paper and garnish the dish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges. Serve immediately with a side of roasted vegetables.
