1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the fish cooks evenly and gets that lovely flaky texture.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. This fragrant mixture is going to be your marinade.
3. Place the fish fillets on a lined baking sheet. I love using parchment paper for easy cleanup—less scrubbing later!
4. Brush the fillets generously with the herb marinade. Make sure each piece is coated well; this really helps infuse the flavors.
5. If you’re adding cherry tomatoes, toss them around the fish on the baking sheet. They’ll roast beautifully alongside the fish!
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
7. Once done, remove from the oven, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon slices. This adds a pop of color and freshness!

As you cook, remember that cooking is about feeling it out. Don’t stress if your fish doesn’t look exactly like the picture in a magazine. As my dad used to say, it’s the taste that counts, and trust me, this will taste amazing!
