Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium, sliced onion
  • 2 cloves, minced garlic
  • 8 oz, sliced mushrooms
  • 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes
  • 1 lb, cut into chunks white fish fillets

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and 8 oz sliced mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Gently place 1 lb fish chunks into the sauce. Cover and simmer until fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
