Mediterranean Fish (Flounder)

"You can use any firm fish for this recipe- I have used flounder-aka sole, mahi mahi, halibut and tilapia. It makes a wonderfully easy baked fish with tomatoes, kalamata olives, caper, onions and white wine. It is my absolute favorite way to make fish! I got the recipe from here but do not see it posted anymore so I will added it again for everyone to enjoy- it is SO EASY and SO GOOD!"

directions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Prepare tomatoes if using fresh by plunging them into boiling water, imediately removing them to a bowl of ice water and peeling the skins. Or you can chop them with the skins on or use canned- it is a person preference thing.
  • heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onions and saute until tender. Add garlic and Italian seasoning, stirring to combine. Add tomatoes and cook until tender. Mix in wine, olives, capers, lemon juice and half of the basil. If fresh basil- if fresh basil is not available add a couple teaspoons of dried basil-fresh is always better though. Reduce heat, blend in Parmesan cheese and cook until the mixture is hot and bubbly. If you prefer a thick sauce you can cook until the sauce has reduced to a thick sauce, about 15 minutes.
  • Place fish in a shallow baking dish. Cover with the sauce mixture and bake in preheated oven 15-20 minutes depending on the fish used. Fish should flake easily with a fork when done, except for the mahi mahi which flakes when done, just not easily.

  1. THIS WAS SO WONDERFUL! Everything went together so well. It smelled so good I couldn't wait to taste it. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  2. Excellent, easy recipe, substituted black olives for kalamata and added 2 tablespoons of peccorino romana on top while it baked. Highly recommended.
     
  3. I LOVE this recipe! So versatile too, I use whatever I have on hand and often add artichoke hearts!!
     
  4. I made this tonight. Had no capers, which was a shame, had no kalamata olives, so I used black olives and I had no white wine. I only had some Arbor Mist exotic fruit white zinfandel, so I used that! You know what? Came out great anyway! Will definitely make again, but will make sure I have capers!
     
  5. I really loved this recipe! Simple, fresh, and delicious. I used cod filets and everything turned out so well. I also used fresh roma tomatoes and left out the olives (we're olive haters). I will definitely be making this dish again. Thanks for posting!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in sunny So. Cal with my hubbie and two daughters. We live close to the beach and spend as much time there as possible- especially my husband who surfs as much as possible! We love to go camping, travel to Hawaii and hang out around the house with friends and neighbors (when I'm not shuttling kids here and there!) I enjoy cooking and have a passion for cookbooks, but since I found this website and allrecipes.com I can't find an excuse to buy any more!
