Step by Step guide

Step 1

Trim the dark green leaves and roots from the leek. Cut the remaining parts in half lengthwise and rinse under cold water. Thinly slice the orange into rounds. Also slice the olives into thin rounds.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 374°F.

Step 3

Grease a baking dish with olive oil. Place the leeks cut-side down, season with salt and pepper. Top with half of the thyme and half of the orange slices, then drizzle with orange juice. Grease a sheet of parchment paper with olive oil and place it over the oranges, oiled side down. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until the leeks are tender.

Step 4

Season the fish with salt and pepper. Remove the parchment paper. Place the fish on top of the oranges and sprinkle with olives and the remaining thyme. Top with the remaining orange slices, cover again with parchment, and bake until the fish is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
