Steps
- Prepare the stuffing mix according to package directions.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Season fish fillets with salt and pepper, then place them in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until starting to firm up.
- Drain the pineapple juice into a small bowl, then spoon the pineapple chunks over the fish. Pour the reserved juice around the fish.
- Transfer the skillet to a 400 degree F oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the fish flakes easily.
- While the fish bakes, heat the green beans in a separate pan or microwave.
- Serve the fish with pineapple and pan juices over the stuffing base, with green beans on the side.
