Ingredients

  • 5 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped

  • 2 tbsp capers, drained

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 1 tsp dried basil

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • chopped fresh basil or cilantro

Instructions

  • Place tomatoes in a large, wide frying pan and set over medium-high heat. Add capers, garlic, onion, olives, seasonings and sugar. Boil uncovered, stirring often, until tomatoes are soft, 8 to 10 min.

  • Place fish in pan and spoon a little sauce overtop. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until fish is cooked through, 6 to 8 min, depending on how thick it is. Remove to plates. Spoon sauce overtop. Scatter with basil.
