"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"

This is an outstanding recipe that makes an amazing dish with really fresh halibut. Make sure you use really high quality olives, I used spice Sicilian ones in olive oil. You can use green or black or a mix. Also I use Bulgarian or Balkan goat or sheep feta, the sharp acidic softer version rather than harder brick version. I did not use the tomatoes, not needed. I have baked it in foil (see pic) but also in pottery covered oven dish. As a treat I strained off the liquid once baked, reduced it then added a touch of butter to make a lemon drizzle on serving. I do not think you need the rice, it such an amazingly rich dish as it is from the oven.
