This Mediterranean Baked Fish is so good. It has all the flavors of Greece, lemons, olives, garlic, oregano. Any firm white fish will work, tilapia, cod, snapper, your choice. Just serve with all the bits on top, a generous spoonful of the delicious pan juices and a side of plain white rice. Really delicious!
