FISH WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Center fillets on the foil squares and sprinkle each with dill weed, onion powder, parsley, paprika, seasoned salt, lemon pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle lemon juice over each fillet. Fold foil over fillets to make a pocket and fold the edges to seal. Place sealed packets on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes.

STEAMED FISH WITH THYME AND TOMATO VINAIGRETTE

• Put the mustard and vinegar into a mixing bowl, and add the oil, whisking in vigorously. Stir in the remaining ingredients except the thyme and fish. Keep the sauce at room temperature.
• Pour water into the steamer. Place the fillets on the steamer rack. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place one sprig of fresh thyme on each fillet, and cover the steamer. When the water begins to boil, steam for about 4 minutes. Do not overcook. Remove the thyme sprigs. Serve immediately with the sauce spooned over the fillets.

• Stir until crumbs have absorbed all the butter.
• Place fish portions in a buttered ovenproof dish, sprinkle with the breadcrumbs, then pour over the orange juice.

ONE-PAN ROASTED FISH WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the tomatoes, shallots and garlic in a 9-by-13-inch nonreactive baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Pour over the tomatoes and toss to combine. Roast until the tomatoes have collapsed and the shallots are translucent, about 15 minutes.
• While the tomatoes roast, pat the fish dry with paper towels, brush all over with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Toss the tomatoes, move them to the sides of the dish and place the fish fillets, evenly spaced, in the center. Roast until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Sprinkle the entire dish with the lemon zest, basil and mint. Serve the fish with the tomatoes, spooning any remaining juices on top.

STEAMED FISH (WITHOUT A STEAMER) WITH GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Prepare the fish first. Trim the fish to remove any bones. Put it on a plate that is bigger than the pan you are going to use to cook the beans. Add salt, pepper and the juice of half a lemon. Save the other half of the lemon for serving.
• Trim the ends off the green beans.
• Put the beans in a pan with cold salted water.
• Put the fish plate on top of the pan and the pan lid on top of the plate to cover the fish. The heat of the plate is your improvised steamer.
• Bring the pan to a boil and simmer for about 5 to 8 minutes or until the beans are cooked. This should be enough time to cook the fish as well. If your fish fillets are thick, turn the fish half way through cooking the beans.
• Drain the beans.
• Pour the juices from the fish over the beans and toss through.
• Place the fish on plates and drizzle olive oil over the fish. The best extra-virgin olive oil adds a wonderful flavour to the fish. If you don't like the fruity flavour of olive oil, then skip this step or use milder oil.
• Serve with the beans on the side, lemon wedges and crusty bread to mop up the juices.
