Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, halibut, or snapper)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Lightly dredge the fish fillets in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess flour, and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt and foam slightly.
Step 4
Place the fish fillets in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir in red chili flakes.
Step 6
Pour in the diced tomatoes (along with their juice) and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 7
Add the kalamata olives and capers to the tomato sauce. Stir to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
Step 8
Return the fish fillets to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cover the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 9
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish and serve the fish warm with lemon wedges on the side.
