A bold and flavorful dish featuring white fish cooked in a spicy puttanesca sauce with tomatoes, olives, and anchovies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (2-ounce) can anchovy fillets, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
  • 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the diced tomatoes, anchovies, olives, capers, and oregano. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Gently nestle the fillets into the sauce, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cover the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute the fish with firm tofu and adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Add a handful of fresh spinach or kale to the sauce during the last few minutes of cooking for extra nutrients and color.
