Description
A quick, bold, and satisfying dinner featuring flaky white fish in a vibrant tomato sauce with olives and capers, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fillets of white fish (such as cod or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked pasta or crusty bread (for serving)
Instructions
- Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Mince the garlic, chop the Kalamata olives, and rinse the capers.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in diced tomatoes, chopped olives, capers, and red pepper flakes. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Gently place seasoned fish fillets into the sauce and spoon sauce over the top. Cover and cook until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 8–10 minutes.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed, garnish with parsley, and serve hot over cooked pasta or with crusty bread.
Notes
Can be customized for spice level. Use lemon juice or white wine for added brightness.
