Mediterranean in the Midwest

My favorite food would have to be fish, and there is nothing like a super-fresh catch. Unfortunately, now I am living in a completely landlocked location. Luckily (and I'm not sure if this is a well-known fact or not) Trader Joe's has an excellent frozen fish selection, and it always manages to taste great. 

Last night, Marie and I played amateur chefs and prepared our favorite fish dish. We used to make it all the time at school, and it works with any white fish. We usually use tilapia or red snapper, but last night we made it with orange roughy and it still tasted great. It goes well with sauteed spinach, prepared with a little bit of garlic. Here's the recipe for two people, roughly (my cooking is not an exact science): 

2 filets white fish

2-3 Roma tomatoes, sliced thick

1/2 small white onion, sliced 

1/3 c. Kalamata olives, pitted and halved

juice of 1 lemon

3-4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 

salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375

In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, onions, olives, lemon juice, oil, and salt and pepper

With filets in a baking dish (preferably a small one so that there is not much extra space), spoon mixture over them

Optional- place a few lemon slices over top of filets and mixture--it looks nice! 

Bake for about 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filets and the type of fish you use; I typically just keep checking it.
