Ingredients

1 ½ lb white fish fillet (such as cod or halibut, about 1 to 1 ½ inches thick)

Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Extra virgin olive oil

Juice of ½ lemon (more for later)

8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved

3 ounces pitted olives, halved (use a combination of Kalamata and green olives)

3 tablespoons minced red onion

4 to 5 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

2 teaspoons dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the fish fillets dry and season with salt and black pepper. Brush a 9½ x 13-inch baking dish with olive oil and place the fish fillets in the dish. Squeeze the juice of ½ lemon over the fish.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, olives, red onion, garlic, fresh thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and toss to combine.
  4. Pour the tomato and olive mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, checking for doneness. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Serve immediately, drizzling with more lemon juice if desired, and pairing with lemon rice or couscous.

Notes

  • Other firm white fish like tilapia or snapper can be substituted for cod or halibut.
  • For extra vegetables, add zucchini or bell peppers to the tomato and olive mixture.
  • Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeño for a spicy kick.
