Ingredients:

4 good-sized cod fillets
25g black olives, stoned
50g fresh white breadcrumbs
grated zest of 1/2 lime
2 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
1/2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp tapenade or black olive paste
salt and black pepper to taste

Method:

Finely-chop the olives and mix in a bowl along with the breadcrumbs, lime zest, chopped herbs, half the oil, and the tapenade. Season then mix well and spread on the surface of the fish fillets. Place the fillets on an oiled baking tray and drizzle with the remaining oil.

Place in the centre of an oven pre-heated to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4) and cook for about 15 minutes until the fish is tender and flaky. Serve immediately with buttered new or mashed potatoes and broccoli or fine beans.
