INGREDIENTS

⅓ cup Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil
1 small red onion, finely chopped
2 large tomatoes, diced (3 cups diced tomatoes. Use quality canned tomatoes, if you like)
10 garlic cloves, chopped
1 ½ tsp organic ground coriander
1 tsp all-natural sweet Spanish paprika
1 tsp organic ground cumin
½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
1 ½ tbsp capers
Salt and pepper
⅓ cup golden raisins
1 ½ lb white fish fillet such as cod fillet or halibut fillet (wild, if possible)
Juice of ½ lemon or more to your liking
Zest of 1 lemon
Fresh parsley or mint for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the tomato and capers sauce. In a medium saucepan, heat extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add onions, cook for 3 minutes until it begins to turn gold in color, tossing regularly. Add tomatoes, garlic, spices, pinch of salt (not too much) and pepper, capers, and raisins. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down to medium-low and let simmer for 15 minutes or so.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Pat fish dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Pour ½ of the cooked tomato sauce into the bottom of a 9 ½” x 13″ baking dish. Arrange the fish on top. Add lemon juice and lemon zest, then top with the remaining tomato sauce.
Bake in 400 degrees F heated-oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily (do not over-cook). Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or mint to your liking.
Serve hot with Mediterranean grilled zucchini, Greek potatoes, or Lebanese rice.
NOTES

Recipe note: As mentioned earlier in the post, because this is a quick recipe, and the fish must be served hot, be sure to prepare your sides and salads before you bake the fish.
