Ingredients
  

Sauce Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into 4 pieces
  • 6 cloves garlic chopped
  • 3 fillets anchovy
  • ⅓ cup dry white wine such as sauvignon blanc
  • 1 can (28-ounce) whole tomatoes preferably San Marzano, crushed
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ cup black or Castelvetrano olives (about 15 to 20), halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons capers drained

Fish Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds white fish such as cod, halibut, or tilapia, skin removed, cut into 4 equal pieces
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ cup fresh basil or flat leaf parsley (optional)
  • red pepper flakes for serving (optional)
  • garlic bread store-bought or homemade, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center position.
  • Melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet or braising pan over medium heat. Once the butter is bubbling, add the garlic and anchovies. Cook, stirring to break up the anchovies, until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the wine and cook until slightly reduced, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, oregano, and thyme. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes are broken down and the sauce begins to thicken. Stir in the olives and capers.
  • Season the fish with salt. Add it to the skillet with the sauce. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and divide the fish among 4 plates. Spoon the sauce over the fish and sprinkle with basil and red pepper flakes, if desired.
