Me and my fish |
- 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 3 large roma tomatoes or 4 medium sized, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 3 tbsp chopped fresh basil
- 4 (6 oz) pieces halibut
- Hot, cooked noodles
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, saute for 1 minute. Add tomatoes, saute for about 3-5 minutes, until tomatoes start to breakdown. Stir in wine. Add salt and pepper and increase heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, until tomoatoes have broken down enough to form a sauce. Stir occasionally. Stir in basil.
Once sauce is ready, heat remaining olive oil in a separate large, non-stick skillet over medium high heat. You want the pan very hot. Season both sides of the fish with a little salt and pepper. Add fish to hot oil. Sear on both sides for about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add sauce to fish. Simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes or until fish is cooked through. Serve over hot cooked noodles if desired.
