Red Snapper with Tomato Sauce, Olives, and Onions

This recipe is delicious, fast and incredibly easy to make.  It’s perfect for a weeknight meal.  You could easily substitute the red snapper with another firm-fleshed, white fish – red snapper just happens to be one of the few local fish that we have access to here in the Bay area.

Red Snapper with Tomato Sauce, Olives, and Onions

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and slivered
  • 4 8-oz. center-cut skinless red snapper fillets
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 14 oz. diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup black olives, pitted and halved
  • 1/2 bunch parsley, chopped
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Season snapper fillets with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add snapper, and cook until lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
  2. Turn fish and cook other side another 2 minutes or until opaque throughout.
  3. Remove snapper to a plate.
  4. Add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are fragrant and slightly browned about 5 minutes. Add wine, tomatoes, olives, half the parsley, and red pepper flakes to the onions. Season to taste with salt and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, 8 – 10 minutes, until sauce has thickened slightly. Adjust seasonings. Serve sauce over fish and sprinkle with remaining parsley.
