Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or sea bass)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 300 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 100 grams Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons Capers, rinsed and drained
- 120 milliliters Dry white wine
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes to the skillet, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
Step 5
Stir in the sliced olives and capers, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Step 6
Pour in the white wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to slightly reduce the liquid.
Step 7
Nestle the fish fillets into the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
Step 8
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the fish cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and easily flake with a fork.
Step 9
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the dish and season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 10
Serve the spicy Neapolitan fish with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
