Tomato Fish Fillet Recipe
Ingredients:
- 6g green tea bbq seasonings
- 1 pound fish fillets (such as cod, sea bass, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large tomato, chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup white wine (optional)
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh basil sprigs, for garnish
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
Prepare the Fish Fillets:
- Start by seasoning the fish fillets with the green tea bbq seasonings, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Cook the Fish Fillets:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned fish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Tomato Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add Tomato and Liquids:
- Add the chopped tomato to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the tomato begins to soften. Pour in the white wine (if using) and chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Combine Fish and Sauce:
- Return the cooked fish fillets to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Gently spoon the sauce over the fish to coat evenly. Add the chopped fresh basil and stir gently to combine.
Simmer and Serve:
- Let the fish simmer in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to fully combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper if necessary.
Garnish and Serve:
- Transfer the tomato fish fillets to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh basil sprigs and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
