Quick, easy, and elegant, this dish pairs perfectly with a whole grain side.

STEPS

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Place fish on a sheet tray and season with 1 teaspoons of olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

2. In a bowl, combine the grapes, almonds, parsley, lemon juice, 1 teaspoons of olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper.

3. Place the fish in the oven and bake for 3 minutes, flip the fish, and return to the oven until the fish is just beginning to flake but the center is still translucent, approximately 3 minutes. Take care not to overcook.

4. Remove from oven and serve immediately, topped with grape mixture.
