Roasted Halibut With Black Olives, Cherry Tomatoes and Mint

This dish, which has Greek origins, matches delicate fish with a sharply flavored, uncooked olive “relish” (I use it on seafood and chicken as well). It’s a cinch to make and is always a crowd pleaser. For an easy appetizer, substitute finely chopped oil-cured sun-dried tomatoes for the cherry tomatoes, and serve the olive relish on toasted pita or flatbread with feta cheese.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine the olives, garlic, tomatoes, mint and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Mix until combined and set aside (the relish can be made up to 2 hours in advance and kept at room temperature; do not refrigerate it).

Rub the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the halibut and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and roast for 12 to 15 minutes until opaque and slightly firm.
