ORATA ALL’ACQUA PAZZA
ORATA ALL’ACQUA PAZZA
Tender white fish in a spicy, savory, bright tomato broth
makes for a delicious and light Italian meal. I like to serve this with a light
side salad.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 pound sea bream 1 whole fish, gutted and
cleaned, or use haddock, snapper, striped sea bass, or even branzino fillets
that are about 1 inch thick with the skin on
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper fresh ground
3 garlic cloves sliced thin
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes use 1/4
teaspoon if you like more heat
2 green onions sliced thin
1/2 pound cherry tomatoes halved
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup water
1 tablespoon olive
oil good quality
1/4 cup parsley minced
Instructions
Season the fish all over (inside and out) with the salt and
pepper.
Heat the avocado oil in a large nonstick pan over high heat.
When hot, add the fish and cook for about 5 minutes, or until just starting to
brown (it should sizzle as soon as you put it in).
Flip the fish and add the sliced garlic and chili peppers,
onions, and tomatoes. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Add the white wine and cook
until little to no liquid remains, another 2 minutes or so. Add the water and
cover the pan with a lid. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until they eyes turn
opaque white and the fish is tender. If you are cooking filets rather than a
whole fish, add them skin side down and cook until the flesh flakes easily,
about 7-12 minutes total without flipping them.
Transfer fish to a serving pate. Return the pan to heat and
turn the heat as high as it will go, bringing the liquid to a rapid boil. Add
half the parsley and the olive oil. Boil for 1 minute then remove from heat.
Pour over fish and sprinkle with remaining parsley.
