Instructions

  1. Set the racks in the middle and upper thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 F
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the onion, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until golden, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
  3. Pat the fillets dry, lightly spray them with cooking spray,  and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add the fennel and cook until the vegetables are soft and translucent, an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. In a heavy ovenproof skillet over high heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the fillets, rounded-side down, and cook for 2 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium and add the tomatoes with their juices. Using the back of a wooden spoon, smash the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
  7. Carefully flip the fillets with a metal spatula and place the skillet in the oven. Bake until the fish is no longer translucent, 8 to 10 minutes.
  8. Add the basil, wine, olives, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Switch the oven to broil and place the skillet on the upper rack. Broil until the tops of the fillets are golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes.
  10. Reduce to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly thickened, while you prepare the fish.
  11. Arrange the fillets on individual plates, spoon on the sauce, and serve.
