Ingredients:

1.50 lb white fish
680g
1.50 cups cherry tomatoes
270g
1/2 cup olives
120g
2 tbsp capers
30g
1 tbsp fresh thyme
16g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
2 tbsp vinegar
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Fish:
Rinse the white fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Arrange the fish in a single layer in a baking dish.
3. Prepare the Vegetables:
In a medium bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, and chopped fresh thyme.
4. Season and Assemble:
Drizzle the olive oil and vinegar over the fish fillets in the baking dish. Season the fish with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add the Vegetable Mixture:
Spoon the tomato, olive, and caper mixture evenly over the fish fillets, making sure the vegetables are well-distributed.
6. Bake:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Serve:
Remove the baked fish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the fish topped with the baked cherry tomato mixture and any pan juices.
8. Garnish (Optional):
For an extra touch of freshness, you can garnish with additional fresh thyme or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Tips:

- Choose fresh, high-quality fish.: For the best results, select fresh white fish like cod, haddock, or halibut from your local market.

- Adjust the cooking time.: Depending on the thickness of your fish fillets, you may need to adjust the baking time. Thicker fillets may require a few extra minutes in the oven.

- Use the right olives.: Opt for pitted olives like Kalamata or Castelvetrano for added convenience and flavor.

- Enhance the flavor.: For an extra burst of flavor, add a splash of white wine or a squeeze of lemon juice before baking.

- Rest before serving.: Allow the fish to rest for a couple of minutes after baking to let the flavors meld together.

This baked fish with tomatoes, olives, and capers recipe delivers a delightful combination of flavors that is both satisfying and nutritious. The simplicity of the dish belies its depth of taste, ensuring it will become a favorite in your household.
