Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes to the skillet, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
Stir in the sliced olives and capers, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the white wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to slightly reduce the liquid.
Nestle the fish fillets into the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the fish cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and easily flake with a fork.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the dish and season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the spicy Neapolitan fish with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
