Haddock Meuniere with Tomatoes, Capers & Onions

I had a fantastic Haddock special at one of my favorite restaurants Restaurante Pavarati and just had to try and make it. The haddock seemed to be cooked by itself with a tomato, garlic, lemon chutney on top. It was fresh, tasty, and savory. So I started searching the internet for ideas and came across the Red Snapper with Tomatoes, Olives & Onions recipe of The Comfort of Cooking blog. So I decided to use this recipe as a guide for the tomato topping, and I would make my Haddock Meuniere fish recipe separately. I am not really a fan of black olives so I decided to substitute capers instead. The results were very similar to the one at the restaurant. Only with the addition of capers. Here goes.
