Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons each finely chopped flat leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons finely chopped fennel greens
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 (6ounces) fillets of white fish, such as bass, snapper, halibut, perch, mullet, or pike
1 small fennel bulb, halved lengthwise and very thinly sliced crosswise
3 1/2 inch thick slices lemon, halved
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
About 36 large vine leaves, well rinsed
3 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

In a large, shallow ceramic or earthenware baking dish, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, salt, and pepper. Pat the fish dry with paper towels and add to the marinade, turning to coat all sides evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Remove the fish from the marinade. Lay out 3 or 4 vine leaves on the counter, overlapping them to form a large, sturdy wrapper. Place a few slices of fennel in the center. Place a piece of fish on top and scatter a few more slices of fennel on top of it. Top the fennel with 1 slice of lemon and 1/2 tablespoon of the butter. Wrap the fish in the vine leaves and lay it, seam side down, in an ovenproof baking dish. Repeat with the remaining fish. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the fish is opaque (you can peek to make sure they are done). Garnish each package with some of the diced tomato. Serve immediately and let the diners unwrap their own fish. Pass a small cruet of extra virgin oil for drizzling.

One-Pan Roasted Fish With Cherry Tomatoes image

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots (about 1 large)
2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 tablespoon sherry or red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
4 (6-ounce) skin-on mild white fish fillets, such as cod or halibut
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest (from about 1/2 lemon)
Chopped fresh basil, for serving
Chopped fresh mint, for serving

Steps:

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the tomatoes, shallots and garlic in a 9-by-13-inch nonreactive baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Pour over the tomatoes and toss to combine. Roast until the tomatoes have collapsed and the shallots are translucent, about 15 minutes.
While the tomatoes roast, pat the fish dry with paper towels, brush all over with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
Toss the tomatoes, move them to the sides of the dish and place the fish fillets, evenly spaced, in the center. Roast until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
Sprinkle the entire dish with the lemon zest, basil and mint. Serve the fish with the tomatoes, spooning any remaining juices on top.
