Ingredients

  • 1½ lb Oyster Bay Grouper Fillet
  • 6–8 oz cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 large lemon, plus extra wedges for serving
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Fresh dill, roughly chopped
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 to 1½ tsp ground cumin

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly coat a baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Pat the grouper dry with paper towels. Season both sides with kosher salt. In a small bowl, stir together the oregano, cumin, paprika, and black pepper, then evenly coat the fish with the seasoning blend.
  3. Arrange the seasoned fillets in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the fish, then squeeze the lemon juice on top. Finish with a generous drizzle of olive oil.
  4. Scatter the halved tomatoes over the fillets.
  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily when tested with a fork.
  6. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh dill.
