Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, three to five minutes, and add the garlic and the capers. Cook, stirring, for three to five minutes, until the onion has softened thoroughly and the mixture is fragrant. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Stir in the thyme, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce is thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot or cold.
- Make the sauce as directed and keep warm.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough for the fish to lie flat. Season the fish with salt and pepper, and arrange in the baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets, and place a round of lemon on each one. Cover the dish tightly with foil, and place in the oven. Bake 15 minutes. Check the fish; if you can cut into it with a fork, it is done. If it doesn't yield, (halibut fillets tend to be thick can take time to cook), cover and return to the oven for five minutes. Remove from the oven, and check again. Remove the lemon slices from the fish.
- Place a spoonful of sauce on each plate, and place a piece of fish partially on top. Spoon some of the liquid from the baking dish over the fish. If you wish, top the fish with another spoonful of sauce, garnish with basil leaves and serve.

ONE-PAN ROASTED FISH WITH CHERRY TOMATOES
In this quick, elegant dinner, cherry tomatoes are roasted with garlic, shallots, sherry vinegar and a drizzle of honey, turning them into a sweet and savory condiment for simple roasted fish. This versatile, year-round recipe is delicious with juicy end-of-summer tomatoes or even with a pint from the grocery store. Thick white fish such as cod or halibut work best here. Serve with rice, couscous or your favorite grains, and a green salad.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the tomatoes, shallots and garlic in a 9-by-13-inch nonreactive baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Pour over the tomatoes and toss to combine. Roast until the tomatoes have collapsed and the shallots are translucent, about 15 minutes.
- While the tomatoes roast, pat the fish dry with paper towels, brush all over with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Toss the tomatoes, move them to the sides of the dish and place the fish fillets, evenly spaced, in the center. Roast until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Sprinkle the entire dish with the lemon zest, basil and mint. Serve the fish with the tomatoes, spooning any remaining juices on top.

BAKED FISH WITH SUMMER SQUASH
Think baked fish is boring? One taste of this catch of the day, and you'll be hooked. Thinly slice the squashes so they cook as swiftly as the cod or halibut, and combine them with capers, thyme, and olive oil. Covering with foil for most of the cooking time is key: The protein stays tender, the vegetables get soft and juicy, and every forkful bursts with flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place squashes, thyme, and capers in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Season fish with salt and pepper; arrange over squashes. Top with tomatoes. Drizzle fish and tomatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cover with parchment-lined foil and bake 15 minutes.
- Remove foil and continue to bake until fish is opaque and squashes are tender, about 10 minutes. Serve with rice.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest cod or halibut you can find. Fresh fish will have a mild, sweet flavor and firm texture.
- Season the fish liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your recipe. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
- Don't overcook the fish. Cod and halibut are both delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center.
- Serve the fish immediately. Baked cod or halibut is best served hot out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Baked cod or halibut with tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is flaky and tender, and the tomatoes add a burst of flavor. This dish is also a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
