This Greek-inspired baked fish recipe combines the tangy flavors of feta cheese and lemon with the freshness of tomatoes and herbs, creating a delightful and healthy dish.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Foil makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Season the fish fillets on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Season generously for enhanced flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, low-fat sour cream, diced red onion, minced garlic, drained capers, chopped plum tomatoes, lemon zest, and dried oregano. Mix well.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Add the white wine to the feta mixture and stir until incorporated.
The wine adds a subtle depth of flavor.
Place the seasoned fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
Ensure the fillets are evenly spaced for uniform cooking.
Spread the feta mixture evenly over the top of each fish fillet.
Cover the fillets completely for a flavorful crust.
Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is cooked through and the topping is golden, about 10-12 minutes.
Check for doneness by ensuring the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the baked fish hot, garnished with additional lemon zest or fresh herbs if desired.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
