Fish Puttanesca
Report
"Harlot's sauce," this is a classic Italian sauce made up of pantry staples, allegedly something a lady of the night would whip up after work, in the early morning before markets opened. Great on pasta, better with fish or chicken.

Instructions
- Salt the fish well and dust with the flour.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When it's hot, brown the fish pieces in batches. Sear several sides of the chunks so they're nicely browned. Set the fish aside as it browns.
- When all the fish is done, add the shallot and cook for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook another 30 seconds.
- Return the fish to the pan and add all the remaining ingredients. Toss to combine, and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes. Serve with crusty bread, polenta or rice.
Notes
- While I used California halibut here, any firm fish works. Alternatives could be walleye, catfish, perch, snapper, rockfish, seabass, striped bass, tuna, etc.
- This comes together quickly so have everything all set up before you begin.
- AP flour is perfectly fine here, although I do really like the chickpea flour. It add flavor and browns well.
- I like pitted black Kalamata olives for this recipe, but any olive you want will work.
- Get the small capers. They're better. Even better? Get them packed in salt.
