Directions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
- First, prepare the sauce by heating the oil in the pan over low-to-medium heat and add the onion, garlic and chili flakes and sauté for 2 minutes
- Add the cherry tomatoes and rise temperature to medium heat and cook, until the onions and tomatoes are soft and tender (for about 10 minutes)
- Add in the white wine and stir in the remainder ingredients for the sauce for another 4-5 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat and set aside
- Prepare the fish by seasoning the fish evenly with salt and pepper
- Place the fish in a saucepan cooking over medium heat in olive oil
- Cook the fish for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked golden brown but still remaining tender
- Place the pan in the oven to cook the fish for approximately 5-7 minutes
- Remove from oven, pour the sauce over the fish, adding some extra freshly chopped basil (and perhaps some chopped fresh coriander) and serve.
Tips:
- Serve: I would recommend serving this dish with either rice or quinoa to soak up the lovely juices from the sauce. Try it – you won’t regret it!
- Wine choice: since this dish already contains dry white wine, I would serve this dish with a crispy cold glass of dry white wine. Salute!
