Step 1
Mix cilantro, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, cumin, 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.
Step 3
Pat fish dry, season with salt and pepper, then sear 3 minutes per side without moving until golden.
Step 4
Remove fish to a plate. Pour tomatoes and olives into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits.
Step 5
Return fish to the skillet and spoon the herb sauce over the top, coating everything well.
Step 6
Cover and simmer 3 minutes until sauce is glossy and fish flakes easily when poked.
