Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- In another bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil (optional). Set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
