Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic whole, flattened gently with a knife
  • 10-15 cherry tomatoes or grape or datterino tomatoes, cut in half
  • 3-4 tablespoons Italian parsley finely chopped, divided
  • 1 pound perch halibut or cod or fish of choice, piece
  • 1-2 pinches salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium-large skillet, on medium-high heat warm the olive oil and garlic, add the tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of parsley and sautee for 3-5 minutes. I usually cook them longer up to 10 minutes and I squish them, we like the tomatoes cooked well.
  2. Add the fish and turn to cover in the sauce from the tomatoes, sprinkle with 1-2 tablespoons of parsley, cover and cook on low/medium for 3-5 minutes then flip over, uncover and cook for an additional 3 or 4 minutes until fish is cooked (opaque and flakes when cut with a fork and not transparent) there should still be some sauce in the pan. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Of course cooking time may vary with the thickness of the fish. 
  • If you wish you can add capers and or black olives if desired. Add in the last 1-2 minutes of cooking time. A couple of tablespoons would be enough I think.
  • Your white fish filets are done cooking when they are transparent in color and opaque. They will also cut easily with a fork. If using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should be 145°F. 
  • This recipe for pan seared fish is best ate right away. Fish is delicate and doesn’t hold up well when reheated. That being said, I have made excellent use of leftovers and turned them into a seafood pasta recipe with great results.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for a day or two. Leftovers taste great flaked over fresh salad greens. Another great use for them would be in seafood pasta.
