Sheet Pan: White Fish Recipe

This Sheet Pan: White Fish Recipe is a step by step to a simple healthy refreshing meal that you can make any day of the week.

We love a good sheet pan meal here. Sheet pan meals are notoriously easy. They are the oven’s answer to a one pot meal, but if you have to pick sheet pans are even easier. You just throw a mix of vegetables and accompaniments along with your protein and boom you have dinner ready in less than 30 minutes and no pans to clean.

Ani’s Abuelas typically paired seafood with tomatoes, stewing calamari, fish and shellfish in a rich tomato sauce.

I wanted to make a dish that is reminiscent of those flavors but a little more delicate and simple for our weeknight menu.

This Recipe is the perfect addition to your weeknight menu. It’s delicate and simple but brings you back to the time Abuela used to stew seafood in a delicious rich tomato sauce and all with minimal cook time and clean up. Sueno!

What You need for this Sheet Pan White Fish Recipe

This sheet pan recipe uses flounder but you can use another white fish if you prefer. As
everything bakes, the vegetables release their juices for a simple sauce to keep the fish tasty and moist.

The vegetables we call for in the recipe are basic tomatoes, peppers, and olives. However you can add in broccolini, green beans, cauliflower, or anything else that you like roasted in the same amount of time as the fish. Remember cooking is about making it your own.
