📝 Ingredients (Serves 2)
• 1 large white fish fillet (tilapia, cod, sea bass…)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• ½ cup green olives, pitted
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter (optional, for richness)

🔥 Instructions
1️⃣ Season the Fish
Pat fillet dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.

2️⃣ Sear the Fish
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear fish 3–4 min per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3️⃣ Sauté the Veggies
In the same pan, add butter (if using), garlic, cherry tomatoes, and olives. Cook 3–5 min until tomatoes blister. Add rosemary & thyme.

4️⃣ Deglaze the Pan
Add lemon juice or a splash of water to loosen up all that flavor. Simmer 1 min.

5️⃣ Finish the Dish
Return fish to the pan, spoon sauce over top, and let simmer 1–2 min to absorb flavor.

6️⃣ Serve & Garnish
Top with fresh thyme or parsley. Serve with crusty bread, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad. 🥖🥗
