1

Prep and start roasting the onion

Heat the oven to 400°F.

  • Peel the onion and cut it crosswise into ¼-inch-thick slices. Separate the slices into rings.
  • Strip the oregano leaves from the stems and coarsely chop enough to measure 3 teaspoons [6 tsp]. Divide the oregano into three equal portions, one for the onion, one for the tapenade, and one for garnish.
  • Line a sheet pan [2 sheet pans] with foil or parchment paper.

On one end of the prepared sheet pan [on 1 sheet pan], drizzle the onion with the Italian dressing, season with salt and pepper and 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oregano, and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer and roast until the onion starts to brown and caramelize, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the tapenade, tomato, and fish.

2

Make the tapenade

  • Finely chop the fried shallots.
  • Finely chop the olives, checking for any pits.
  • Zest the lemon and juice half, keeping the zest and juice separate; set aside the juice for the fish. Cut the remaining half into wedges for garnish. [Zest and juice 1 lemon; cut the remaining lemon into wedges.] 

In a small bowl, stir together the fried shallots, olives, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oregano, and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil.

3

Prep the tomato and fish; finish roasting the ingredients

  • Cut away the core from the tomato; thinly slice the tomato crosswise.
  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season lightly with salt and pepper.

Remove the sheet pan from the oven, stir the onion, and spread in an even layer on one end of the sheet pan [on the entire sheet pan]. On the other end of the sheet pan [on a 2nd sheet pan], drizzle 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil and place the fish (skin side down for the barramundi or snapper) on top. Sprinkle the fish with 1 to 2 teaspoons [1 TBL] lemon juice. Arrange the tomato slices on the fish, overlapping them slightly. Spread the tapenade evenly over the tomato slices, covering as much of them as possible. 

Return to the oven and roast until the fish is opaque and flaky and the onion is tender and richly caramelized, 10 to 12 minutes. 

Serve

Transfer the onion to individual plates and top with the fish. Garnish with the remaining oregano and serve with the lemon wedges.
