Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and prepare the vegetables by slicing the onion, pitting and slicing the olives, and chopping the basil.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are translucent and soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Fish

    Season the red snapper fillets with salt and black pepper. Push the sautéed onions to the side of the skillet and add the fillets. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Once the fish is cooked, add the Gaeta olives, capers, and marinara sauce to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and let simmer for another 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish with Basil

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil. Serve immediately.
