Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
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.
In a medium bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, and chopped fresh thyme.
Drizzle the olive oil and vinegar over the fish fillets in the baking dish. Season the fish with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the tomato, olive, and caper mixture evenly over the fish fillets, making sure the vegetables are well-distributed.
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.
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.
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.
