Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Ingredients

Begin by gathering all the ingredients. Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic. Ensure your fish fillets are thawed if they were frozen. Rinse the cherry tomatoes and set them aside.

Step 2

Sauté the Aromatics

In a large skillet, heat 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Next, stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Cook the Fish

Place the fish fillets into the skillet and season with salt, red and black pepper, and Italian herbs. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 4

Add Sauces and Vegetables

Once the fish is cooked, pour in the tomato sauce and add the cherry tomatoes, olives, and black olives. Pour in the dry red wine and stir everything together carefully so as not to break the fish.

Step 5

Simmer and Serve

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve hot, garnished with more herbs if desired, and enjoy this delightful fish dish!

Servings

When it comes to serving this vibrant fish in tomato sauce dish, think of the possibilities! You can lay a generous helping over a bed of fluffy rice or pasta, allowing the sauce to soak in and enhance the flavors. Feeling a bit fancy? Serve it in individual ramekins topped with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of Parmesan for that gourmet feel. Don’t forget to pair it with a crisp green salad or some garlic bread to soak up that delicious sauce! 🌿🍞 Each bite is a taste of the Mediterranean that will transport your taste buds - just imagine sharing this at a picnic or gathering with friends! 🥳✨

Variations

Gluten-Free and Vegan Variations: 🌾🌱 If you're looking for a gluten-free option, simply substitute the tomato sauce with a gluten-free version, or make your sauce from scratch using crushed tomatoes and seasoning. For a vegan twist, replace the white fish with hearty grilled vegetables like zucchini or eggplant, and let your tomatoes shine with their vibrant flavors! Both variations will delight your taste buds while keeping things healthy and satisfying!

Faq

  • What type of fish is best for this recipe?

    White fish such as cod, haddock, or tilapia works great due to its mild flavor and flaky texture. Choose a fresh or frozen variety based on availability.

  • Can I prepare the sauce ahead of time?

    Absolutely! The sauce can be made in advance and stored in the fridge. Just heat it up before adding the fish.

  • Can I add more vegetables to the dish?

    Yes! Feel free to add bell peppers, spinach, or even artichokes for added flavor and nutrition. Just sauté them along with the onions.

  • How can I make sure the fish doesn’t overcook?

    Keep an eye on the fish as it cooks and aim for a cooking time of about 8-10 minutes, depending on thickness. It should flake easily with a fork when done.

  • Can I freeze this dish once cooked?

    It's best to freeze the sauce separately from the fish to maintain the texture. You can freeze the sauce for up to 3 months.

  • What wine pairs well with this fish recipe?

    A crisp white wine such as a Pinot Grigio or a light red like Beaujolais will complement the flavors beautifully. Cheers!
