Greek Baked Fish

Karen Elizabeth's Note:

Quick, simple, delicious and healthy!!!! Serve with basmati rice and steamed green beans for a colourful treat, pleasing to both eye and palate. Torn from a magazine, which I only realise now, does not print its title on every page :-(, sorry! I know it was a fashion magazine, tho! (brought home by my husband :-) ) He loves fish, loves this recipe.

Nice and simple. I used grouper, but still a nice white fish. Just very nice mix of flavors. I made it as is. Very very good. The guests loved it. Thx for a great recipe

I really enjoy the flavors of the Mediterranean and this fish was no exception. Cod fillets were used for the fish with kalamata olives and Greek feta this made a delicious dinner. Made for *Aussie Swap*

*Reviewed for Aussie Forum Edition 8 Recipe Tag * Wonderful! We added kalamata olives and Greek fetta. I used Snapper fillets -almost 1 kilo in the 4 fillets. I placed the fish in the oven with the tomato topping for 10 minutes...then added the fetta cheese and olives and cooked for another 15 minutes. The sauce had great flavour and everyone totally enjoyed their meals. Thanks for a great fish recipe that was easy and delicious. Photos also posted
