Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 4 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 medium, finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 medium, cut into wedges lemon
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the crushed tomatoes and chopped red bell pepper to the skillet, stirring well to combine.
Season the mixture with chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Let the sauce simmer for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Gently place the fish fillets into the sauce, spooning some of the sauce over them.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the fish cook for approximately 10 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the lid and taste the sauce, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
Once the fish is cooked through, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top.
Serve the fish and sauce hot, garnished with lemon wedges.
