A Simple Summer Fish Recipe
This is one of my favourite ways to cook fish. Especially when there are tons of peak season summer tomatoes available. It's a deliciously light summer fish recipe that will come together in about 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 3 each green onions
- 500 grams tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 100 millilitres white wine
- 50 grams green olives
- 30 grams capers
- 1 lemon
- 2 fillets cod, or other white flaky fish Approx 150g per fillet
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy bottomed shallow pot or Dutch oven
- Chop the onions and add them to the pot
- Roughly chop the tomatoes and add them to the pot as well as the salt
- Add the white wine to the pot and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the fish pieces in so that they are partially submerged in the tomato mixture. Add the capers and olives, cover with a lid, and allow to steam for 4-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
- Check to see if your fish is cooked through. I do this by inserting a knife into the thickest part of the fish, and if I can do so without any resistance whatsoever, it’s done.
- Squeeze the lemon into the pot and serve in bowls with chunks of fresh bread and a glass of wine on the side.
