Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6; 3 ounces fish per serving

Ingredients

Olive oil spray
6 mild white fish fillets (about 4 ounces each), rinsed and patted dry
Juice of 1 medium lemon
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 large tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
2 tablespoons capers packed in balsamic vinegar, drained
1/4 cup plain dry bread crumbs (lowest sodium available)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil, crumbled

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil spray.

    Step 2

    Place the fish in a single layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle with the lemon juice. Sprinkle with the pepper. Top with the tomatoes, bell pepper, and capers.

    Step 3

    In a small bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, oil, and basil. Sprinkle over the fish.

    Step 4

    Bake for 25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

  2. Cook’s Tip on Mild White Fish

    Step 5

    Factors including taste preference, availability, freshness, price, and avoidance of what is being overharvested may affect your choice of mild white fish. Many varieties, such as cod, grouper, haddock, mahimahi, sea bass, scrod, sole, and tilapia, are interchangeable, needing only minor adjustments in cooking time to account for differences in thickness.
