Puttanesca Fish Tray Bake is a bold and flavorful one-pan Mediterranean dish featuring tender white fish fillets baked with cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, garlic, and herbs. It’s simple to prepare, low-carb, and perfect for an elegant yet easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or halibut)
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata or black olives, pitted and halved
  • 2 tbsp capers, rinsed
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lemon, sliced or for squeezing
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a large baking tray, combine cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, olives, and capers. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with oregano, chili flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and spread out evenly.
  3. Roast for 10–12 minutes, or until tomatoes begin to soften and blister.
  4. Remove the tray from the oven and make space for the fish fillets. Nestle them among the vegetables, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Return to the oven and bake for another 10–12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish and garnish with chopped parsley or basil. Serve hot.

Notes

Add extra chili or sliced fresh chilies for a spicier version.Include sliced zucchini or bell peppers for more vegetables.Try with salmon or sea bass as alternative fish options.Add a couple of anchovies to the tomato mix for deeper flavor.Serve over pasta or with crusty bread to soak up the juices.
