HALIBUT WITH CHERRY TOMATOES, CAPERS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Mix lemon and mustard blend in oil 'til emulsified (I love my immersion blender!). Stir in tomatoes, olives, capers, salt & pepper.
• Put the fish in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in one layer and pour the tomato mixture over it.
• Cook the fish in middle of oven until just cooked through--depending on the thickness of your fish, it can vary from 10-20 minutes.
• Stir in parsley, and serve fish with the sauce. Freshly ground black pepper is great, but the capers and olives usually have enough salt to carry the dish.
• Excellent on angel hair pasta!
