Method of preparation
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F
Begin by preparing the olive topping. Cut the olives and tomatoes, combine them in a small mixing bowl. Finely chop the fresh rosemary, add to olive and tomato mix. Add 2 Tbsp. EVOO and a pinch of salt. Mix all the olives, tomatoes, EVOO, salt and rosemary until evenly coated. Add more salt to taste, if needed. Loosely cover and set aside.
Pat dry the haddock filets and place them in a glass, oven safe dish. Top the haddock filets with white wine, the zest and juice of lemon and butter. Place in oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the haddock filet flakes apart. Depending on the thickness of the filets, an adjustment in baking time may be required. Be careful not to overcook the haddock.
Heat 2 Tbsp. EVOO in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced turmeric and ginger root and sauté for 4-5 minutes until it is aromatic. Add the collard greens and a pinch of salt. Sauté for approximately 1 minute to lightly wilt the greens.
Place greens on plate, top with baked haddock. Top the haddock with the olive mixture and garnish with a small sprig of rosemary

EVOO is well documented for its anti-inflammatory properties and can be cardio protective. It can be especially beneficial when combined with tomatoes to enhance the bioavailability of the carotenoids
