"I`ve listed halibut but really any meaty fish will do for this but the key is getting the fish thick enough that allows the vegetables to cook with the fish, without overcooking the fish. There is no set amounts for this what I have listed is really only a guideline go ahead and adjust to your taste. This is a full-flavor Mediterranean-style dish so you must have a palette for these flavors. VARIATION: replace chopped olives with tapenade. Spread over fillets first then add tomatoes, capers etc. and proceed. You can also pour a scant 1/2 cup of dry white wine in the baking dish to produce more juice. Usually though the fish and vegetables release a fair amount of juice. Serve with cooked rice and a salad"
