Ingredients
Scale
- 200g cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided, plus extra for drizzling
- 3–4 fresh thyme sprigs
- sea salt
- 1 slice slightly stale bread
- 1 large garlic clove
- 12 Fragata stoneless green olives
- 2 relatively thick fillets sustainable white fish
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 160 degrees and toss the cherry tomatoes, thyme sprigs and a good pinch of salt in a medium baking dish with 1 tbsp of the olive oil. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, to make the breadcrumbs in a small food processor or mini chopper blitz them together with the garlic clove – peeled and roughly chopped – until you have rough breadcrumbs. Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil and blitz again.
- Tear the olives over the semi-roasted cherry tomatoes then lay the two fish fillets on top. Season them with salt, then top with the breadcrumbs. Give the tray a final drizzle of olive oil and bake for a final 15-20 minutes until the fish is cooked and flaky.
Notes
I like the heft of homemade breadcrumbs here, but you could always mix 4 tbsp of panko breadcrumbs with the garlic clove (minced) and the olive oil to make a substitute that doesn’t require a food processor.
