Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: The Fish:; Tilapia (1/3rd-1/2 lb. per person.) This recipe is for 4.; You could also cook this with other white fish. Cod comes to mind. I think it would work well with Salmon too.; Sliced Mushrooms of any sort -- all white, portobellos, porcini, or a mix. About one generous cup will do.; The Paste/Chutney:; 2-3 Preserved Lemons (or pickled lemons), cut into quarters.; 10-12 Green olives; 2-3 cloves garlic; 10-12 halves of Sundried Tomatoes, revived by pouring some boiling water over them and letting them sit until some tenderness comes back into their tough selves.; Best Olive Oil; 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes; freshly ground black pepper to taste

The Fish:
Tilapia (1/3rd-1/2 lb. per person.) This recipe is for 4.
You could also cook this with other white fish. Cod comes to mind. I think it would work well with Salmon too.
Sliced Mushrooms of any sort -- all white, portobellos, porcini, or a mix. About one generous cup will do.
The Paste/Chutney:
2-3 Preserved Lemons (or pickled lemons), cut into quarters.
10-12 Green olives
2-3 cloves garlic
10-12 halves of Sundried Tomatoes, revived by pouring some boiling water over them and letting them sit until some tenderness comes back into their tough selves.
Best Olive Oil
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
freshly ground black pepper to taste

1
Wash the fish and place in a baking dish. Coat with excellent olive oil.
2
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
3
Place the Paste ingredients into your Cuisinart for chopping. Whiz away for a minute or two. Brush down the sides and whiz again. Don't go past the point of a rough chop -- like a Duxelles texture.
4
Cover the fish with the sliced mushrooms, leaving some space free for some of the paste. Put 2 tablespoons per fish filet onto the fish and spread. Covering part of the fish and leaving the mushrooms to cover the rest. Spread a bit more olive oil over the mushrooms and a touch of salt and pepper. (Don't overdo the salt, as there are olives and salted lemons in the mixture.)
5
Place in the oven and cook until finished. 15-20 minutes.
6
Serve with a green salad with grapefruit, orange and avocado slices with a shallot vinaigrette.
