Ingredients

  • 4-6 filets of sole or other flaky white fish, about 1 1/2 pounds
  • Sea salt and black pepper
  • 2 sage leaves per piece of fish, or 1/2 teaspoon dried sage per filet
  • 1 cup mixed, marinated, and pitted olives, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large shallot, minced, about 2 tablespoons
  • 1/4 cup Basic Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, omit if using Basic Dressing
  • Grated Pecorino cheese, optional, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Rinse fish and dry well. Place fish on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or a glass baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place two leaves on each filet or sprinkle the dried sage on each piece of fish.
  3. Mix all the other ingredients (except cheese) together in a small bowl. Pour mixture evenly over the fish and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or longer.
  4. Place the fish in the oven on the lower-middle rack and bake 12-14 minutes or until flaky. Turn the broiler on high and broil for 2 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven and let sit for 2-3 minutes. Check for seasoning and serve with warm pasta, brown rice, or quinoa to soak up the delicious flavors.
