We love baked fish. It’s so simple and flavorful… and easy to clean up!

The fish can be whatever is freshest at the seafood counter. I often use halibut or cod for this recipe. When my local fishmonger sees me coming, he always knows what I’m going to ask. First freshness, and then price (this is everything you should remember when choosing fish to buy!)

When available, I love to get it with the skin on so I can get it nice and crispy in a skillet before baking. It does not matter how thick or thin your fillets are, I’ve included instructions for both in the recipe.

Truly, this is one of the easiest and fastest dinners to get on the table. When I make this, it takes, perhaps, 30 minutes from start to finish, depending on the thickness of the fish filet. This is why I love making it as a healthy dinner during the week.

The vegetables are easy to prep (you just need to slice them), and I do mix them up with the season, but this is my favorite combination, especially in the springtime and in early summer.

All you will need to do is mince some garlic, zest a lemon, and thinly slice a zucchini, and add some snow peas, spinach and small potatoes. Layer them onto a sheet pan, bake, and serve.

In the summer, this dish is delicious using mixed bell peppers instead of the snow peas.

Plus, it’s incredibly, wonderfully delicious. At least to me!

Hope you enjoy!

Do I have to make this baked fish recipe on a sheet pan?

If you don’t have a sheet pan to hand, it works equally well in a casserole dish too, or a shallow baking dish.

Do I need to add any extra steps if my fish has the skin on?

If I’m baking a fish with skin, I often sear it in a nonstick skillet, over medium-high heat, and drizzled with olive oil. I place the skin side down and cook for 2-3 minutes before finishing it in the oven over the veggies. This will help the skin get nice and crispy.
