Ingredients
To Season the Fish
1 Fish Fillet (Basa, Cod, Halibut, etc.)
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (Old Bay or Creole seasoning)
½ teaspoon Chilli flakes
1 teaspoon Fish seasoning (optional)
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Black pepper
3 tablespoons Cooking oil
For the Tomatoes and Olives
2 cups Cherry tomatoes (cut into medium chunks)
¼ cup Olives (or capers as a substitute)
2 sprigs Parsley (fresh)
2 sprigs Thyme (fresh)
3 Garlic cloves (minced or diced)
½ teaspoon of the mixed seasoning above
2 tablespoons Water
3 tablespoons Salted butter
Pinch of Salt and Pepper
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the Fish: Mix all the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl. Rub both sides of the fish fillet with the seasoning mix.
Sear the Fish: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear both sides of the fish for about 1 minute each to give it a charred look. Remove and set aside.
Sauté Tomatoes and Olives: In the same skillet, add all the ingredients for the tomatoes and olives mixture except the butter. Sauté for about 3 minutes, stirring continuously.
Bake the Fish: Place the seared fish back in the skillet (or transfer to an oven-safe dish if your skillet isn’t oven-safe). Add butter on top of the fish and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately with your choice of side, such as roasted potatoes, saffron rice, or garlic herb potatoes.
Tips
Test for Doneness: Use a fork to check if the fish flakes easily or ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Serving Suggestions: Pair with baked potato wedges, saffron rice, or roasted garlic potatoes for a complete meal.
