Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Pat dry 4 white fish fillets and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: In a baking dish, arrange the fillets in a single layer. Scatter 1-inch julienned fresh ginger, 2 chopped ripe tomatoes, and 3 sliced green onions evenly over the fish.
Step 3: Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp fish sauce over the fish and vegetables. Pour 1/4 cup water around the fillets to keep them moist.
Step 4: Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the tomato juices are bubbling.
Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving with steamed rice or sautéed greens.
