About this recipe
Mediterranean Herb Baked Fish Thermomix TM7 recipes bring the sunny flavours of the southern coast straight to your table. This herby fish recipe proves how versatile an all-in-one kitchen machine can be: the TM7 weighs the olive oil directly into the bowl, chops the onions, peppers and garlic in seconds, and grates the lemon zest so nothing goes to waste. Fresh parsley, coriander and thyme form a fragrant crust that infuses the fish as it bakes gently, keeping every fillet moist and flaky rather than dry. It is an ideal quick weeknight dinner, because the sauce base comes together in one bowl with hardly any washing up, yet the result tastes slow-cooked and restaurant-worthy. Serve it with crusty bread or boiled potatoes to soak up the lemony juices. Whether you cook for family or friends, this Mediterranean baked fish delivers light, aromatic flavour with the kind of consistency only guided Thermomix cooking can guarantee every single time.
Preparation tips
- Pat the fish fillets dry before arranging them on the vegetable base; drier fillets absorb the lemon-herb marinade better and bake up flakier with a more concentrated Mediterranean flavour.
- Layer the onions and peppers underneath the fish rather than on top, so the fillets steam gently in their own juices while the vegetables caramelise and create a sweet, aromatic bed for serving.
- Swap the coriander for extra parsley and thyme if anyone at the table dislikes its citrusy note, and add a pinch of chilli flakes to the olive oil for a warmer, more robust version that children can still enjoy mild.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and flake the cold fish over a green salad with the remaining pepper-onion mixture the next day for a light, protein-rich lunch.
Recipe variations
- Make a dairy-free and gluten-free version exactly as written, since this Mediterranean Herb Baked Fish naturally contains neither; simply confirm your fish fillets and sea salt are certified gluten-free for coeliac guests.
- For a festive summer variation, replace half the coriander with fresh basil and add halved cherry tomatoes and black olives to the pepper mixture, giving the baked fish a Provençal character perfect for al fresco dining.
