A very light and healthy dish with fresh tomatoes, perfect for summer!
A few more tips:
This is the basic recipe, which is the quickest thing I can think of for a weekday meal after work. If you have more time, add chopped peppers and celery to make the dish even more aromatic.

Steps

1

Wash the fillets and place them side by side in a baking dish.
2

Wash the tomatoes and then give them a light "massage" under warm running water. This softens the skin, making it easier to peel with a knife. Then grate them and pour the juice over the fillets.
3

Sprinkle the orzo around the fish to fill the gaps in the baking dish and add a little water. The juicier the tomatoes, the less water you'll need to add. Instead of water, you can add vegetable broth, but I find the fresh tomato and fish juices are enough.
4

Add some olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Finally, crumble the feta over the dish with your fingers.
5

Cover well with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 20 minutes.
