Ingredients:

1/3 cup olives
72g
2 shallots
100g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g
1 tbsp vinegar
16g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
2 cups cherry tomatoes
360g
1.50 lb white fish
680g
1 tbsp lemon juice
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Olive Salsa:
- In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped olives, diced shallots, and chopped parsley.
- Add the vinegar and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil into the bowl.
- Stir well to combine all the ingredients and set aside.
2. Prepare the Cherry Tomatoes:
- In another bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil (optional). Set aside.
3. Cook the Fish:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the white fish fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly oiled.
- Drizzle the lemon juice and the remaining olive oil over the fish fillets.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake the fish in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is flaky and cooked through.
4. Assemble the Dish:
- Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the oven.
- Plate the fish fillets and spoon the olive salsa generously over the top.
- Arrange the cherry tomatoes around the fish for a vibrant and fresh garnish.
5. Serve:
- Serve immediately while warm. This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad.

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients, especially the fish and parsley.

- When chopping shallots and parsley for the salsa, make sure to finely dice them to ensure they blend well with the other ingredients.

- To avoid overcooking the fish, keep a close eye on it towards the end of the cooking time. It should flake easily with a fork when done.

- If you prefer a more intense lemon flavor, add some lemon zest to the salsa.

- Feel free to customize the salsa with other ingredients, like capers or roasted red peppers, to suit your taste.

- Serve the dish with a glass of crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, to complement the flavors.

This Lemon Fish with Olive Salsa is not only easy to prepare but also a feast for the senses. The combination of white fish, zesty lemon juice, and savory olive salsa creates an unforgettable meal that you'll want to make again and again. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete, nourishing dinner.
