This Mediterranean style Pan seared fish is fast, delicious and easy to make on your stove top. I used a grouper filet. You can use grouper, Branzino or any light flavored fish with the skin left on the filet.
The Italian olives are available in most markets.
Ingredients;
1-1.5LBS fresh fish filet (Branzino or Grouper) with the skin left on.
2 TBLS extra virgin olive oil
Salt & Pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine, use one that you will drink with dinner
2-3 chopped plum-Roma tomatoes
2 TBLS fresh chopped parsley
1/2 cup Castelvetrano or Gaeta pitted olives, cut in half
1 TBLS capers
2 TBLS butter
Directions;
Sprinkle salt & pepper on the filet. In a saute pan heat the oil and sear the fish on both sides for about 5 mins. Remove the fish and set aside. Add the wine and deglaze the pan. Add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add the balance of ingredients and simmer for a few more minutes. Return the fish to the saute pan for a few minutes. Lay the fish in a plate and spoon the tomato mixture over each filet.
