- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 15-ounce can canned crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 cup green olives, sliced

Instructions
Pat the white fish fillets dry with a paper towel and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper and cook for another 3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, sliced olives, capers, and white wine (if using). Stir well to combine.
Season the mixture with smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Nestle the fish fillets into the sauce, spooning a bit of the sauce over each fillet.

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
