Ingredients
- 1½ pounds white fish fillet such as cod or halibut, (1 to 1 ½ in thickness)

- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1½ tbsp lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
- 8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1½ cups artichoke hearts, quartered

- 3 tbsp red onion, minced
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- fresh herbs and lemon wedges to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425℉
- Pat the fish dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Brush a 9 ½ x 13-inch baking dish with a tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and place the fish in the dish. Drizzle lemon juice over the fish.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, artichoke hearts, onions, garlic and spices. Add a pinch of sea salt and ground black pepper. Add 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, and toss to combine. Pour the tomato, artichoke, and olive mixture over the fish.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until cooked through -this will depend on the thickness of your fish.
