Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds fish
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 4 pieces garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 0.5 cup parsley
- 1 piece lemon
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup white wine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- 1Prepare the fish fillets by patting them dry and seasoning both sides with salt and pepper.
- 2In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- 3Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they start to burst, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 4Stir in the kalamata olives, capers, and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- 5Carefully place the fish fillets into the skillet, spooning some of the tomato mixture over the fish.
- 6Pour the white wine around the fish. Cover and simmer gently, until the fish is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
- 7While the fish is cooking, zest the lemon and squeeze its juice, setting both aside.
- 8Once the fish is done, remove it from the skillet and set on a serving dish. Increase the heat under the skillet to reduce the sauce slightly, about 3 minutes.
- 9Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and fresh parsley.
- 10Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
- 11Pour the sauce over the fish fillets and serve immediately.
- 12Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
