Ingredients

• 1 pound black cod fillets (450g; cut into 4 pieces)

• 1 large bell pepper, cored + chopped (red, orange, or yellow)

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

• 5 large green olives, pitted + diced (I used Gordal)

• Salt + pepper, to taste

• Fresh basil, chopped (to garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400F.

2. Place sablefish fillets in a large baking dish.

3. In a large bowl, toss together the peppers, tomatoes, olives, garlic, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

4. Pour vegetable mixture over top of fish fillets. Spread out evenly so that the fish is visible and the vegetable mixture surrounds it. Season fish with additional salt and pepper.

5. Place baking dish in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until desired doneness (for the fish).

6. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh basil.
