This recipe gives you plenty of choice when it comes to the fish – any white one will do. The fish is baked in the oven with olives and a tomato sauce. The sauce needs to be made in advance, but can be frozen or kept in the fridge, so it´s worth making in larger quantities and using it for different dishes.
