Roasted Sweet Chili Rubbed Haddock with Olives

I am always looking for new ways to prepare fish so I was excited when I saw this dish on the menu at my favorite seafood restaurant. Sometimes I will ask the server if the chef is willing to share the ingredients of a dish. Other times I have to figure it out myself and that's always fun. This time I put the flavors together in my head and made it at home. I started with a dry rub using seasonings I already had in my pantry. Then instead of using hot peppers, I decided to top it off with StarFine Foods Tomato and Pepper Marinated Olives to give it a spicy twist! The blend of spices turned out so flavorful that now I use it on my fish recipes. 

Roasted Sweet Chili Rubbed Haddock with Olives

2 Haddock Fillets

1 tablespoon Star Find Foods Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

½ cup Star Fine Foods Tomato and Pepper Marinated Olives, sliced

1 tablespoon capers

1 teaspoon of scallions, just the green part

Pat dry your fillets with a paper towel. Salt and pepper both sides and set aside while you make your rub.

Sweet Chili Rub

1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
½ teaspoon Oregano
½ teaspoon Chili Powder
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
¼ teaspoon Cumin
¼ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
1/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

In a small bowl combine all of the spices and mix well. Brush the fillets with olive oil on both sides and then rub the spice mix generously all of the fish. You will use the entire rub – so make sure to coat them very well. Refrigerate the haddock for about an hour.

Place the fish on a foil-lined baking sheet and top with sliced olives and scallions and capers. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes – the fish will flake easily when it’s cooked through.  Serve immediately.
