Step

Of 3

Prepare the Fish

Preheat oven to 220C. Place rack inside in the upper third of your oven.

Cut the fish in half, eliminating the head and tail (alternatively, you can ask your fish monger to remove the head and tail, leaving the rest of the fish intact).

Cut fish into 4 equal parts.

Line an oven-safe cooking dish (rectangular works perfectly) with wax paper or baking paper.

Drizzle with olive oil, and place fish pieces on top. Drizzle with additional oil, and a sprinkling of salt and a fresh rosemary sprig.

Prepare Ingredients

Peel and slice potatoes into 4mm thick slices, and place around the fish in the cooking dish.

Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes, and place on top of the potatoes.

Drizzle again with olive oil, and salt to taste.

Combine capers and olives (as many as you like) with small pieces of fresh rosemary branches (cut the twigs into smaller segments) and red pepper flakes.

Dress with a generous dash of white wine, and add to fish (you can place directly on top of the fish and vegetables)

Cook and Complete the Dish

Place fish into preheated oven, in the upper third of your oven, as close as possible to the top of the oven. Allow to cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until fish flakes when touched, and seems cooked through the inside. Serve promptly.
