Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The cheese should be melted and bubbly, and the tomatoes softened. (20 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a thin layer of Dijon mustard under the cheese.
A sprinkle of paprika before baking can enhance the color and add a subtle smoky note.
Feel free to substitute other types of cheese, such as provolone or mozzarella, based on your preference.
Serve with a side of rice or roasted vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.

Mar 29, 2025I've made this several times and it's always a hit. I sometimes use cherry tomatoes instead of sliced tomatoes and it works great.

Aug 16, 2023My kids, who normally turn their noses up at fish, actually ate this! The lemon and steak seasoning really mask any fishy taste.
