Rockfish Recipes

This one-pan rockfish recipe is a light and flavorful meal featuring tender, flaky rockfish fillets nestled on a bed of garlicky sautéed spinach and juicy cherry tomatoes. It’s perfect for a quick, healthy weeknight dinner and requires minimal cleanup.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 rockfish fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, packed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Sauté Spinach: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add Veggies: Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally (about 2–3 minutes). Stir in halved cherry tomatoes.
  • Add Rockfish: Place the rockfish fillets on top of the spinach and tomatoes. Season the fillets with salt and pepper.
  • Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the rockfish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve: Plate the rockfish with the sautéed vegetables and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute rockfish with another mild white fish like cod or tilapia.
  • Add a splash of white wine or lemon juice before baking for extra brightness.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a gourmet finish.
