Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 whole Small onion
- 500 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare all your ingredients: mince the garlic cloves, finely chop the onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan, cooking until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high, add the cherry tomatoes, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down.
Pour in the vegetable broth, stir in the lemon juice, and add half of the basil leaves and all the thyme sprigs. Season with salt and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then carefully place the fish fillets into the pan, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the fish cook gently in the liquid for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once the fish is done, carefully remove it to a serving platter and discard the thyme sprigs.
Increase the heat to high and let the sauce reduce slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle the reduced sauce over the fish, scatter the remaining fresh basil leaves on top, and finish with a drizzle of the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Serve the soy-free braised fish hot with your choice of side dish, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
