Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1-1/2 cups white onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 can (29 ounces) whole tomatoes chopped or diced
  • 1-1/2 cups dry white wine, fish stock or clam juice
  • 2/3 cup green stuffed olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup drained capers
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 24 ounces Chilean sea bass or your favorite white fish
  • 1 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Saute the onion until translucent, then add minced garlic and tomatoes.

  • Heat to a simmer.
  • Place fillets of fish on top of sauce; cover and gently simmer 10-12 minutes.

Notes

Variations:
  • different fish - any mild white fish will work: sea bass, haddock, tilapia, cod, pollock, shrimp, scallops or a mixture would be delicious too.
  • no capers - skip them and use more olives instead.
  • spicy - add more crushed red pepper flakes, chili peppers or your favorite hot sauce.
