- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.

- Season 4 (6-ounce) Mahi Mahi fillets with salt and pepper.
- Gently place the fish fillets atop the tomato mixture.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 9-12 minutes (depending on thickness).
- Using a slotted metal spatula, transfer the fish to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Add 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, 3 teaspoons dried oregano (divided; 2 tsp + 1 tsp), and the zest of 1 orange to the sauce in the skillet.
- Increase heat to medium-high and simmer until the sauce is reduced and thickened, about 6-8 minutes.

- Place 1 fish fillet on each of 4 plates.
- Pour the sauce generously over and around the fish.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oregano.
- Serve immediately with warm toasted bread.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
