Sometimes the simplest of meals are the most delicious. Take this uncomplicated fish and tomato dish, for example. There's nothing out of the ordinary, it's just a piece of firm-fleshed fish with a light pan sauce of garlic and tomatoes.

However, a hint of something special, say half a cup of fresh-squeezed orange juice, ensures that simple is not boring. Serve this fish with a side of mixed greens dressed with a garlic vinaigrette and topped with shaved parmesan cheese. Get the recipe that's sure to brighten your Wednesday when you read more.

Halibut With Tomatoes and Capers

Ingredients

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 pint grape tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons capers
kosher salt and black pepper
4 6-ounce pieces skinless halibut fillet or some other firm-fleshed white fish

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the tomatoes, orange juice, parsley, capers, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and simmer until some of the tomatoes begin to break down, 4 to 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining teaspoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the fish with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve with the tomatoes.

Serves 4.
