Equipment

  • baking dish

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Halibut white fish or any white fish of choice
  • 1 cup mixed olives like kalamata and green olives
  • ¾ cup dry white wine broth will also work, or you can use 1/3 cup of the olive brine and lemon juice.
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • cups cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup red onions, sliced
  • ½ tsp salt & pepper
  • 1 tsp crushed dried oregano
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 2 cup s cooked rice optional for serving
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro optional for garnish

Instructions

  • Set oven to 350º. Place raw, thawed if frozen white fish into a baking dish. drizzle oil, wine and seasonings over it. Next, layer the onions, tomatoes and olives over the mix.
  • Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until fish is cooked all the way through and flaky. Serve over rice with wine sauce drizzled over.

Notes

  • Storing: Mediterranean fish is best served immediately. If you have leftovers you can keep them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Reheat your oven-baked fish in the microwave or oven until heated through.
  • Use Marinated Olives: These seasoned olives add much more flavor than plain olives. I also like to use garlic stuffed olives. 
  • You can use one large filet or 4 separate filets. 
  • Frozen Fish Fillets: If you're using frozen fish make sure to thaw it out before cooking. For best results place your frozen fillets in the fridge to thaw out overnight.
