My recipe includes olives and tomatoes, but don't be afraid to experiment with a more favourable alternative. 

​In this post, I will provide you with all of the necessary ingredients, meal preparation instructions and even recommend a few side dishes to compliment this delicious meal. 

Ingredients Required

Below I have listed the necessary ingredients required to make this recipe. If you are to follow these quantities exactly, this dish will serve 6 people.

Also, this meal works with any white fish – cod, pollock, halibut, mahi-mahi, you name it (it might even be fun to experiment with different types of fish to figure out what you like the most). 

Ingredients include; 

• 1½ lbs (700 grams) haddock fillet
• Kosher salt and ground black pepper
• ½ lemon, juiced
• 1 cup (200 grams) halved cherry tomatoes
• ½ cup (60 grams) pitted olives
• 3 Tbsp yellow onion, minced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tsp Italian seasoning
• 3 Tbsp olive oil​

Meal Preparation

It's important to make sure you follow the preparation instructions listed below.

• Heat your oven to 425ºF/220ºC
• Spray a 9”x13” (23 cm x 33 cm) baking dish with nonstick spray
• Pat the fish dry and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper
• Place the fish in the baking dish
• Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish
• In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, olive oil, and stir to mix well
• Pour the tomato mixture over the fish, smothering the top
• Bake for 15-20 minutes

Finished Meal

In addition to this amazing dish, you can also serve it with a few of my favourites, such as quinoa or cauliflower rice and a salad.
