This recipe from allrecipes.com is a lovely way to cook fish. Sauté onions, garlic and tomatoes. Stir in wine, olives, capers and hot pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and add the fish. Cover and gently simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through. Remove fish, add butter to the sauce, simmer for a few minutes, stir in cilantro and serve the sauce over the fish. I used branzino fillets, but you could use any firm whitefish.
Serves 4.
Avoiding Additives and Preservatives
I used a white wine from Frogpond Farms that had a sulfite level of less than 10 parts per million. I used President’s Choice garlic stuffed green olives and Unico capers—both are additive-free. Check the hot pepper flakes and the butter to make sure they don’t contain colour. For more recipes using all-natural ingredients, visit Eye For a Recipe.
