If you’re looking for a healthy, flavour-packed dinner that’s quick to prepare, a Puttanesca Fish Tray Bake is the perfect choice. This Italian-inspired dish combines the bold, tangy flavours of olives, capers, tomatoes, garlic, and fresh herbs with tender, flaky white fish for a satisfying meal the whole family will love.
To make it, simply layer cherry tomatoes, sliced onions, and a mix of Kalamata olives and capers on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with oregano, and season generously with sea salt and cracked pepper. Place your fish fillets—such as cod, snapper, or barramundi—on top, spoon over some rich tomato sauce, and bake until the fish is perfectly cooked and the vegetables are roasted to perfection.
The beauty of this tray bake is its simplicity: minimal prep, one pan, and maximum flavour. It’s also versatile—you can pair it with crusty bread, fresh salad, or even roasted potatoes.
For an elevated touch, follow the expert tips from Chef Scott Biffin, who recommends finishing the dish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of parsley just before serving. With these steps, you’ll have a restaurant-quality dinner ready in under 30 minutes.
