A delightful Mediterranean-inspired baked fish dish with vibrant flavors and a touch of elegance.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the dish.
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds and mince the garlic.
Uniform slices help the zucchini cook evenly.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the zucchini and garlic until the zucchini is tender-crisp.
Avoid overcooking the zucchini to maintain a slight crunch.
Spread the sautéed zucchini and garlic evenly in the bottom of a baking dish.
Ensure an even layer for consistent baking.
Place the fish fillets on top of the zucchini in the baking dish.
Arrange the fillets without overlapping for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, lemon juice, sugar, sugar substitute, capers, and black olives. Mix well.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Pour the tomato mixture over the fish, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Cover the fish completely with the sauce for maximum flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Check the fish for doneness by testing the thickest part.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the dish and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
Allow the cheese to melt and slightly brown for added flavor.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
