A delicious and healthy fish dinner to impress your guests or for a romantic cozy night. You can use any type of white fish – tilapia, sole, or halibut are great options.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh basil, divided
- 1 bunch chopped fresh thyme
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced, divided
- sea salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
- olive oil, divided
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Chop 1/4 of the basil leaves. Mix chopped basil, thyme, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub spice mixture on tilapia fillets and place in an airtight container. Marinate for 2 hours at room temperature.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil and grease with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Step 3
Place tilapia fillets into prepared baking dish, shaking off excess seasoning. Sprinkle cherry tomatoes, shallot, and remaining unchopped basil leaves on top. Drizzle 1/2 the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar over the fish.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until fish is starting to flake.
Step 5
Meanwhile, combine remaining lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil mixture until it has the thick consistency of molasses, 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 6
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Step 7
Broil fish until tomatoes are charred, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and discard liquid. Pour balsamic reduction on top of fish.
