Fish with ratatouille is a delightful and nutritious dish combining tender white fish with a medley of fresh vegetables, offering a burst of flavors in every bite. This recipe is perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner or a sophisticated weekend meal.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red bell pepper, mince the garlic, and chop the onion. Set these aside.
- Pat the white fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season them lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, being careful not to let it burn.
- Next, add the diced red bell pepper and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down and release their juices.
- Pour in the 2 tablespoons of vinegar and stir to combine.
- Add the chopped basil (reserve a little for garnish if you like) and mix well. Let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes to let all the flavors meld together.
- Transfer the vegetable mixture (ratatouille) into an oven-safe dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Place the seasoned white fish fillets on top of the ratatouille.
- Drizzle a little more olive oil over the fish, and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fish fillets.
- Carefully remove the dish from the oven.
- Serve the fish fillets over a generous scoop of the ratatouille and garnish with the reserved chopped basil.
Tips:
- Choose a firm white fish like cod or haddock to maintain the texture during cooking.
- For a richer flavor, marinate the fish in olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Sauté the vegetables until they are tender but still retain some of their crunch for the best texture and flavor.
- Serve with a side of crusty bread or a light salad for a complete meal.
