Braised White Fish In Roma Tomato

Braised White Fish In Roma Tomato

This simple recipe is a wonderful way to cook fish and have dinner on the table in 15 minutes. It was inspired by my first trip to France, where I was overwhelmed by the amazingly fresh and healthy produce people would use in their cooking. 

This recipe utilises a handful of easily accessible ingredients, combining them with fresh pieces of white fish fillet to create a nourishing meal for digestive health. The omega-3s in the fish are perfect for healing your gut. Enjoy this oh so tasty dish!

 

INGREDIENTS

Serves 2

1 x 400g tin peeled Roma tomatoes 

125 ml (1/2 cup) filtered water

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or generous knob of butter

sea salt and white pepper to taste

500 g white fish fillet (2 skinless, boneless white fish fillets)

2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

METHOD

HEAT the tomatoes with the water and olive oil or butter for 5 minutes until slightly reduced and flavoursome. Make sure to smash the Roma tomatoes with the back of a fork so that they start to mix into the sauce.

LAY the fish fillets over the tomato sauce in the pan and season with a little sea salt.

COVER with a lid and simmer for about 6 - 8 minutes until the fish is cooked through. This depends on the thickness of your fish. 

SPRINKLE with fresh parsley.

ENJOY straight out of the pan. 

NOTES & INSPIRATION

Fish provides the body with complete protein for building and repair as well as omega 3 that is anti-inflammatory to the body and is needed for digestive health, cardiovascular and brain health. 

Serve alone or with a side of steamed broccoli.
