About the Recipe
When roasted, cherry tomatoes bring flavor and moisture to this great Whitefish recipe. Whitefish is a very mild fish, so adding garlic, tomatoes and basil do a fantastic job bringing the flavor.
Ingredients
1 lb (about 2 x 8-10oz) of John O Foods’ Whitefish fillets
12 -15 garlic cloves, peeled
2 cups of cherry tomatoes
1⁄2 cup loosely packed basil leaves, torn into halves and thirds
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
coarse salt to taste
cracked black pepper to taste
Preparation
Step 1: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 2: Prepare Cherry Tomato Mixture
Preferably in a dutch oven, combine tomatoes, oil, garlic, salt, pepper and 1/2 the basil. If a dutch oven is unavailable, use a 9x13 pan.
Step 3: Cook mixture ahead
Roast for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, gently stir.
Step 4: Add in the Whitefish
Cut the 8-10oz fillets in half. Nestle fish in dutch oven with tomatoes, place back in oven and continue roasting for 10 minutes longer, or until fish is no longer translucent and tomatoes are just beginning to burst.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!!!
Divide fish among serving plates. Add remaining basil to tomatoes to taste.
