  • Heat the oven to 400F.
  • Cut the onion into thin wedges and slice the garlic thin.
  • In a baking dish, toss the whole cherry tomatoes with the onion, garlic, 2 tbsp of the olive oil, the oregano and season with salt.
  • Roast 12 minutes until the tomatoes start to burst and turn jammy.
Add the fish

2Add the fish

  • Pat the fish dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • Nestle the fish into the hot tomatoes so the juices come halfway up the pieces.
  • Top each piece with a thin slice of half the lemon.
  • Return to the oven 12 to 14 minutes, until the fish flakes at a nudge.

  • Meanwhile, put the couscous in a bowl with a pinch of salt and the last tbsp of olive oil.
