MEDITERRANEAN BAKED FISH RECIPE WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Prepare the tomato and capers sauce. In a medium saucepan, heat extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add onions, cook for 3 minutes until it begins to turn gold in color, tossing regularly. Add tomatoes, garlic, spices, pinch of salt (not too much) and pepper, capers, and raisins. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down to medium-low and let simmer for 15 minutes or so.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pat fish dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Pour 1/2 of the cooked tomato sauce into the bottom of a 9 1/2" x 13" baking dish. Arrange the fish on top. Add lemon juice and lemon zest, then top with the remaining tomato sauce.
• Bake in 400 degrees F heated-oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily (do not over-cook). Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or mint to your liking.
• Serve hot with Mediterranean grilled zucchini, Greek potatoes, or Lebanese rice. (See other suggestions for sides or salads up in the post)

FISH WITH TOMATO-CHIVE BUTTER

Steps:

• Have your broiler preheated when you start.
• Tomato-Chive Butter: In small saucepan over med-hi heat combine shallots, wine and vinegar; simmer until 2 tbsp remain.
• Add cream and return to simmer for 2 1/2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and begin whisking in butter, cube by cube; as you add cubes you may want to place pan back over very low heat briefly; continue whisking in butter until it is all incorporated.
• Pour into a warm bowl and add tomatoes, chives, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Fish: Position broiler rack 4 to 5 inches from heat.
• About 10 minutes before sauce is done sprinkle fish with salt and pepper; place on an oiled broiler rack and broil 4 to 5 minutes a side or until cooked through; place on a serving plate and top with about 3 tbsp butter sauce.

FISH WITH SIZZLING OLIVE BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium. Add butter and oil, and cook until butter melts and starts to sizzle, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in olives, garlic and fennel or coriander, and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Season fish fillets with salt and pepper, then nestle them in one layer in the skillet. Carefully spoon some of the butter mixture over the fish, basting the fillets, then transfer pan to the oven.
• Bake until fish is opaque and flaky, 8 to 13 minutes, basting halfway through. Remove from oven and transfer fillets to serving plates.
• Squeeze a wedge or two of lime into the butter mixture and spoon sauce over fish. Top with black pepper, cilantro and dill, with extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
