Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse, peel and cut the beets into wedges, and place in a greased baking dish or on a baking sheet.
- Season with salt and pepper, but remember that the cheese will add salt too. Crumble the cheese on top and drizzle with half of the olive oil.
- Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the beets have softened. Lower the heat towards the end of the cheese already is starting to brown too quickly.
- Meanwhile, season the fish with salt and pepper and fry it in the remaining olive oil. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the fish with the beets and herb butter or pink herb butter.
Tips
You can also brush the fish with olive oil and grill it.
If the beets comes with greens, don’t discard them! They’re amazing when sautéed with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and red chili flakes.

I used frozen fish and baked it in the oven (400 degrees F for 30 mins), so that part was really simple; I even bought pre-crumbled feta just to make my life even easier. This is a great weeknight dish since there's minimal work- you just have to get the beets ready, and then everything goes straight in the oven. Definitely going into the rotation.
Herb butter is yummy. I left out the parsley and made a double batch. I use this on all my vegetables or when I'm sauteeing anything, automatic flavor and seasoning to anything. You won't need to salt your food because there's plenty in the butter.
