Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 lbs grouper
  • 1.5 cups coarsely chopped tomatoes, like grape tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 small garlic cloves
  • 4 tbsp thinly sliced basil
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 1 dash red pepper flakes if desired

Instructions

  • Working off heat, put 2 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet and add fish, turning to coat with oil on both sides. Arrange fish skinned sides down and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
