My Attempt To Cook: Fish Fillet In Herbs and Tomatoes

This one is an easy and quick recipe. The only thing that bothers me about this dish is the fish, snapper. You can use other thick white fish if you wish... now that was a rhyme. I find the snapper's smell a bit off. The fishy smell is strong for me. So, what I did was drizzle it with lemon juice, pepper and little salt and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Now, here's the recipe.

Ingredients:

about half a kilo snapper or any white fish fillet

2 tbs olive oil

2 medium onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups tomatoes

1/2 cup dry white wine or water or white rice vinegar

1/2 tb dried basil, chopped

1/2 tb dried rosemary

1/2 tb dried thyme

    *i used a readily available mixed herbs by Master Foods

1 cup black pitted olives (optional)

black pepper and salt to taste

Procedure:

1.  In a deep skillet pour in 2 tablespoons water then the olive oil. Add garlic, and cook until light brown. 

2. Stir in onion until soft and add tomatoes. Cook the tomatoes thoroughly until the juices have slightly evaporated. 

3. Add wine or water, simmer for about 5 minutes.

4. Add olives, salt, pepper and herbs; basil, rosemary and thyme. Cook for few minutes to blend the flavors.

5. Submerge fish in sauce and cook in medium heat until fish is tender and white, about 8 minutes.

6. Garnish with some basil or vegetables. 

Serve hot. This is nice with wine and pasta. 

Enjoy!
