We eat a lot of fish! Mostly because I love how quick and easy it is! This particular baked fish recipes is great because it’s made in one-pan and has a ton of flavor without any added fat or salt. The lime juice, garlic, spices and fresh tomato added a light, summery seasoning to the fish – perfect for a simple weeknight dinner.

What to Serve With Baked Fish

You really can’t go wrong with any sort of vegetable or grain as a side with this baked fish recipe. The herby, tomato topping with fresh lime juice does have a Caribbean vibe going on which makes me want to serve this dish with rice (maybe even coconut rice) and black beans. It would also be tasty with roasted zucchini and squash or roasted sweet potatoes.

  1. Hello,

    I am looking forward to trying this recipe.
    The recipe states onion as ingredient – when I look at your photo of the fish it looks like red onion used maybe?
    Just wondering as this is more of a sweet taste than regular onion and I want to get the taste right!
    Thanks

    1. Hi Cyni! Yes, you’ll want to use a red onion for this recipe. Can’t wait to hear how this recipe turns out for you, enjoy!

  2. 5 stars
    This is a fantastic marinade that really brings out the flavors of the salmon! I do not use the tinfoil method as that tends to take too much time. Instead, I put the salmon in a glass dish, pour this fabulous marinade over the top and broil it. I’ve found that about 5-7 minutes on either side gets it done.

    1. Woo! So glad this recipe worked out for you, Vivian. Thanks for sharing your cooking method and coming back to leave a review! I really appreciate it!
