A pinch of salt and some pepper
11 -
Fresh thyme sprigs (2 pieces)
12 -
A quarter cup of olives

Two tablespoons water

Three garlic cloves, finely chopped

3 tablespoons butter (salted)
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it heat up.
02 -
In a bowl, blend your paprika, Cajun and Italian seasonings, chili flakes, fish spice, salt, pepper, and oil. Save a teaspoon of this mix for later when cooking the tomatoes.
03 -
Make sure both sides of the fillet are completely covered with the spice mixture.
04 -
Use a medium heat setting on your pan with a bit of oil. Cook the fish for about a minute on each side, just long enough to get that nice brown color. Set the fillet aside once done.
05 -
Still using the same pan, throw in the cherry tomatoes, olives, parsley, thyme, reserved spice blend, minced garlic, water, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir and cook for a little over 3 minutes.
06 -
Place the fish on top of your tomato and olive mixture in the pan. Add butter on top of the fillet. If you're not using an oven-safe pan, move everything to an oven-friendly dish.
07 -
Bake in the hot oven for 10 minutes. The fish should be ready once it’s no longer raw inside.
08 -
Once out of the oven, serve the dish with whatever side you enjoy most!
# Notes:
01 -
Double-check that your pan can handle being in the oven.
02 -
When cooked all the way, the fish will come apart easily if you nudge it with a fork.
