Seared Fish with Tomato Sauce and Caramelized Onions

Ingredients

• 4 filets fish fillets
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 medium onions
• 1.5 cups canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the 4 fish fillets dry and season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Set aside.

2. 2

   Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add the 2 sliced onions and 1/2 tsp salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and soft, about 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the 1.5 cups crushed tomatoes and 1/4 tsp pepper; simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Push the sauce to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the empty side and place the fish fillets in a single layer. Sear until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.

5. 5

   Spoon the tomato-onion sauce over the fish and sprinkle with the 2 tbsp chopped parsley. Serve hot.

6. 6

   Optional: add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of lemon juice to the sauce for extra brightness.
