This recipe was delicious!!! I did not have chopped tomatoes, just crushed tomatoes and it was still wonderful! Thanks for sharing this healthy way to cook my fresh snapper from the Gulf of Mexico!!!

Keeper recipe for sure! I cut the recipe down for one, and it still worked out wonderfully. The combination of flavors is perfect.....no need to add salt to the fish at all with the olives in the topping! This was a great dinner! Thanks for sharing. Made for photo tag.

A very impressive and flavorful fish dish. Served with a feta salad and toasted rice for a very delicious meal that I definitely will make again.
