INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced white onions
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 4 cups seeded, chopped plum tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups dry white wine
  • 2/3 cup sliced stuffed green olives
  • 1/4 cup drained capers
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 4 (6 ounce) fillets sea bass
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until soft. Stir in garlic, and saute about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, and cook until they begin to soften. Stir in wine, olives, capers, and red pepper flakes. Heat to a simmer.
  2. Place sea bass into sauce. Cover, and gently simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Transfer fish to a serving plate, and keep warm.
  3. Increase the heat, and add butter to sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens. Stir in cilantro. Serve sauce over fish.

This is one of the best recipes I have ever made...and I cook 6 nights a week. I can't stress how perfect it is to any reader, but truly I never follow a recipe 100% and I made NO changes to this one. I even measured most things (which I never do) and it was PERFECT. I added extra crushed red pepper because we like spice and the recipe calls for just enough for one to taste the flavor of the red pepper, but not enough for a kick. I would recommend using unsalted butter at the end, since the capers and the olives provide plenty of salt to the recipe. I also added whatever fresh veggies I had in my garden. Thank you for this perfect recipe. I have not found a better recipe on this site.
