Fresh fish is so delicious in summer, and we love to prepare it with classic Mediterranean ingredients: sun-ripened tomatoes, delicious olives, lemons, capers, and fragrant herbs.

The notes of summer olive oil are the perfect complement, giving this beautiful fish the right taste of southern climes.
