• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

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)

8 small black olives, pitted + diced (I used Hojiblanca)

2 large cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup parsley, chopped

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 lemon, juice only

Salt + pepper, to taste

Fresh basil, chopped (to garnish)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F.

Place sablefish fillets in a large baking dish.

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

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.

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

Remove from oven and garnish with fresh basil. See notes for some serving ideas!

*LEFTOVERS:

Leftover fish should be eaten within 1-3 days of cooking

Store in an airtight container in the fridge

Leftovers can easily be reheated in the microwave or in the oven!

Notes

*SERVING IDEAS: As this sablefish recipe is a delicious mix of protein, healthy fats, and fiber-rich veggies, I would recommend serving it with a type of starch to make a complete meal! Some ideas:

whole grains, like quinoa, farro, millet, or brown rice

boiled or roasted potatoes (I love using mini ones!)
