Place the fillets in a baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of olive oil on each fillet.

Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to each fillet.

Sprinkle salt and pepper on each fillet.

Add 5 cloves of freshly crushed garlic to each fillet, saving some for the other side.

Sprinkle parsley on each fillet.

Flip the fillets over and repeat the process: drizzle olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, and parsley.

Add roasted tomatoes to the baking dish with a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of salt and pepper.

Place the baking dish in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes until the fish is white and easily flakes off with a fork.

Check the fish after 20 minutes to ensure it flakes easily, indicating it's done.
