Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the grease in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Onion and Garlic

    In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Fish

    Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet. When hot, add the fish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and keep warm.

  2. 5

    Make the Sauce

    To the skillet, add the white wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze, picking up all the flavorful bits. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced. Stir in the fresh diced tomatoes and cooked bacon, and let simmer for another 3-4 minutes.

  3. 6

    Finish with Basil

    Stir in the chopped fresh basil into the sauce just before serving. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, place the fish fillets and spoon the tomato-bacon sauce over the top. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
