Ingredients
- 4 pieces Red snapper fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 2 tablespoons Capers, rinsed and drained
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, torn
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the red snapper fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned fillets and cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and stir in the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Step 5
Stir in the Kalamata olives and capers, allowing them to cook for 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate while the liquid reduces slightly.
Step 7
Return the red snapper fillets to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture carefully. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the fish simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until fully cooked and flaky.
Step 8
Sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley and torn basil leaves before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness. This dish pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a side of pasta.
