One of my favorite things about cooking fish is that it doesn’t take any time at all to do it! And with a flavorful parsley pesto to top off this Easy Baked Fish, it will keep dinner far from boring or routine. This would be a fast and fabulous dinner any busy night of the week. Enjoy!
Easy Baked Fish
Ingredients
- 1 pound mild white fish, in fillets (such as cod, tilapia, flounder, or sole)
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 1 cup parsley, fresh
- 1/2 cup almonds, raw, sliced
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 green onions, trimmed, white and green parts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, + extra for greasing the baking dish
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Grease a large rectangular baking dish with a light coating of olive oil. Evenly distribute the fish fillets in the bottom of the baking dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- In a food processor, combine the parsley, almonds, Parmesan, green onions, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and lemon juice. Pulse until it forms a thick pesto.
- Spread the pesto in an even layer on top of the fish. Cook until done (white and flaky), about 15 - 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish.

Fluffy Applesauce Waffle Recipe
Great recipe! I made tilapia and cod and liked the cod better. The pesto was delicious and the recipe made a large amount to really smother on the fish!
So I definitely modified the pesto with ingredients I had on hand: basil instead of parsley, pine nuts instead of almonds. THIS WAS AMAZING! I LOVE PESTO but have never baked it with the fish/meat and have never tried green onions in the mix, a delicious and light meal. Thank you!
