Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring to avoid burning.

Step 4

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, including their juices. Stir well and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the fresh parsley, basil, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Season the sauce with the remaining salt and black pepper. Stir everything to combine.

Step 6

Nestle the seasoned fish fillets into the tomato herb sauce, making sure they are partly submerged. Spoon a little sauce over the top of each fillet.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the fish and sauce.

Step 9

Serve the Tomato Herb Fish Fillets immediately, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired. Pair with steamed rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
