How to Make Baked Fish with Cherry Tomatoes and Olives Recipes
Step 1. Preheat oven to 400℉.
Step 2. Mix all the ingredients for the fish in a small bowl. Save 1 tsp of the seasoning mix to cook the tomatoes.
Step 3. Rub both sides of the fish fillet with the seasoning.
Step 4. Heat oil on medium heat in a pan and sear both sides of the fish for 1 minute. Step 5. Fish isn't supposed to be fully cooked, but it will have a charred look.
Step 6. After both sides are charred, remove and set aside.
Step 7. In the same pan on medium heat, add all the ingredients for the tomatoes mix except the butter and sauté for about 3 minutes stirring continuously.
Step 8. Now, you can place the fish in the middle of the pan, put the butter on it, and put it in the preheated oven. Make sure your pan is oven-safe. If not, transfer everything into a baking sheet or pan.
Step 9. Bake at 400℉ for 10 minutes till cooked through.
Step 10. Remove from the oven and serve right away with your choice of side.
