Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 500g white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or pollock)
  • 400g canned chopped tomatoes
  • 100g black olives, pitted and halved
  • 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) to prepare for baking the fish and sauce evenly.
  2. Prepare the Puttanesca Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the canned tomatoes, olives, capers, olive oil, minced garlic, and chili flakes if using. Stir well to blend all ingredients together for a robust sauce flavor.
  3. Assemble the Tray: Spread the puttanesca sauce evenly on the base of a baking tray. Arrange the white fish fillets on top of the sauce ensuring they are nestled into it slightly for maximum flavor absorption. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Bake the Fish: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Baking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fish fillets.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the baked fish and sauce. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Use firm white fish to prevent the fillets from falling apart during baking.
  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes to control spice level according to preference.
  • Serve with crusty bread or over cooked pasta or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • Capers and olives can be rinsed if you want to reduce their saltiness.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and gently reheated.
