Mediterranean Fish Flounder

You can use any firm fish for this recipe- i have used flounder-aka sole, mahi mahi, halibut and tilapia. It makes a wonderfully easy baked fish with tomatoes, kalamata olives, caper, onions and white wine. It is my absolute favorite way to make fish! I got the recipe from here but do not see it posted anymore so i will added it again for everyone to enjoy- it is so easy and so good!

Steps

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Prepare tomatoes if using fresh by plunging them into boiling water , imediately removing them to a bowl of ice water and peeling the skins.

Or you can chop them with the skins on or use canned- it is a person preference thing.

Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

Add onions and saute until tender.

Add garlic and italian seasoning , stirring to combine.

Add tomatoes and cook until tender.

Mix in wine , olives , capers , lemon juice and half of the basil.

If fresh basil- if fresh basil is not available add a couple teaspoons of dried basil-fresh is always better though.

Reduce heat , blend in parmesan cheese and cook until the mixture is hot and bubbly.

If you prefer a thick sauce you can cook until the sauce has reduced to a thick sauce , about 15 minutes.

Place fish in a shallow baking dish.

Cover with the sauce mixture and bake in preheated oven 15-20 minutes depending on the fish used.

Fish should flake easily with a fork w.
