Fresh Fish Steamed With Oranges And Tomatoes
This dish is quite simple to make because the fish steams right on top of the simmering vegetables. The most time consuming part, i think, is cutting the oranges into segments. In a pinch, i think a couple cans of mandarin orange slices would work well too. The oranges added just a touch of sweet to the saltiness in the olives and feta. This dish is great served with some steamed basmati rice mixed with some fresh chopped cilantro. I adapted this recipe from bon appetit. Originally this was made using halibut, but i've used some of the fishes i mentioned below and those worked just as well.

Spoon the vegetables into shallow bowls and top with a fish fillet.
