Ingredients
- 1.5 lb white fish fillet such as cod or halibut, 1 to 1.5 inch thickness
- kosher salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- extra virgin olive oil for brushing and drizzling
- 0.5 lemon juiced, more for serving
- 8 oz cherry tomatoes halved
- 3 oz pitted olives halved, a mix of kalamata and green olives
- 3 tbsp red onion minced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F.
- Pat the fish dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Brush a 9.5 x 13-inch baking dish with a little olive oil and place the fish in it. Squeeze lemon juice all over the top of the fish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, olives, onions, garlic, thyme, and oregano. Add a small pinch of salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to combine.
- Pour the tomato and olive mixture over the fish.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- Fish cooks quickly; check for doneness before the 15-minute mark. Insert a fork at the thickest part, and if it flakes easily, it's ready.
- Serve with lemon rice, couscous, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
