Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillet (such as cod or haddock)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 unit lemon, juiced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the fish fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Add the fish to the skillet, sear each side for about 2 minutes until lightly golden, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, including their juice, to the skillet.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir in the lemon juice, fresh thyme, and fresh rosemary.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld for about 5 minutes.
Return the fish fillets to the skillet, spoon some of the tomato mixture over the top of each fillet.
Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it gently simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
