Roasted Black Sea Bass with Tomato and Olive SaladMikkel Vang

Sandwiching meaty black sea bass fillets together with an aromatic filling of red onion and fresh oregano perfumes the fish as it roasts. It tastes—and looks—wonderful topped with a colorful salad of small tomatoes, olives, and more oregano. The peppery, lemony herb, native to the Mediterranean, is a natural with fish.

Cooks' note:

Salad can be made 6 hours ahead and kept at room temperature.
