Preparation facts
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
6 cod, sole, or flounder fillets, 6 ounces (170 g) each
juice of 1 lemon
2 Tbs (30 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium red onions, peeled and sliced
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
6 large tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup (120 ml) water
3 Tbs fresh lemon thyme leaves
3 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 lemon, thinly sliced
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Place the fillets in a lightly oiled baking dish and drizzle with the lemon juice.
Warm 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, or until translucent. Add the parsley, chopped tomatoes, and water. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the tomato mixture over the fish, sprinkle with the thyme, and top each fillet with overlapping tomato and lemon slices. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) oil. Cover and bake for 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque in the center when tested with a knife. Serve warm.
