Have you ever thought that you can prepare a tasty and healthy meal in less than an hour? This baked fish recipe with garlic and peppers is the perfect solution for family dinners or a quick meal during the week. The aroma of garlic combined with the sweetness of the peppers makes this dish an irresistible choice.

Ingredients:
- 4 fish fillets (preferably cod, tilapia, or salmon)
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 2 peppers (red and yellow or green), sliced
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A few sprigs of fresh parsley for garnish

Step 1: Preheat the oven
Start by preheating the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. This step is crucial, as a well-heated oven ensures even baking of the fish, keeping it juicy and flavorful.

Step 2: Prepare the vegetables
In a bowl, add half of the minced garlic and half of the sliced peppers. These vegetables will add a rich flavor during baking. Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and pepper mixture and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they become slightly soft. This step will enhance the flavors.

Step 3: Prepare the fish
Place the fish fillets in a baking dish. Drizzle with lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper to taste. This simple trick will help highlight the natural flavor of the fish.

Step 4: Combine the ingredients
Over the fish fillets, add the sautéed garlic and pepper mixture. Make sure they evenly cover the fish, allowing the flavors to integrate perfectly during baking.

Step 5: Baking
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork. If you desire a slightly crispy crust, you can activate the grill function for the last 5 minutes of baking.

Step 6: Serving
Once the dish is ready, remove it from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve it alongside a fresh green salad or a portion of basmati rice to complete the meal.

Helpful tips:
- You can experiment with different types of fish, such as sea bream or trout, depending on your preferences.
- Add some olives or cherry tomatoes for a touch of freshness and color.
- If you want a spicier taste, you can add chili flakes to the vegetable mixture.
