Slow baked fish and olives might sound like an unusual combination but it’s sweet and salty deliciousness that’s great served with rice. This is a fantastic way to use frozen fish which is cheaper than fresh fish. You can switch up the veggies to suit your preferences but make sure you use the sauce because it ties everything together with a sweet, salty, spicy dressing.

450g frozen cod or haddock fillets
130g cherry tomatoes

1 small onion
100g pitted, green olives
