Ingredients
- 1 pound white fish fillets (cod, haddock, snapper, or similar), cut into 4 portions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- ¼ cup capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons anchovy fillets, finely chopped (optional, but adds authentic flavor)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Optional: Cooked pasta (spaghetti, linguine, or similar)
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add remaining sauce ingredients: Add the crushed tomatoes, olives, capers, anchovies (if using), oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Cook the fish: Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Add the fish to the skillet with the puttanesca sauce. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
- Add parsley: Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving.
- Serve: Serve the fish puttanesca immediately. You can serve it over cooked pasta, if desired, or with crusty bread for dipping into the sauce.
Notes
- Fish: Choose a white fish that is flaky and holds its shape well during cooking.
- Anchovies: Anchovies are a traditional ingredient in puttanesca sauce and add a savory, umami flavor. If you don't like anchovies, you can omit them, but the flavor will be slightly different.
- Olives: Kalamata olives are preferred for their rich flavor, but you can use other types of olives if you prefer.
- Capers: Capers add a briny, salty flavor to the sauce.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your liking.
- Pasta: If serving with pasta, cook the pasta according to package directions while the sauce is simmering.
