Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Tomatoes

    Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute. Then, add the canned diced tomatoes, olives, capers, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let simmer for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Fish

    Gently place the red snapper fillets into the sauce, making sure they are partially submerged. Cover the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    Finish with Basil

    Once the fish is cooked, sprinkle the fresh basil over the top and let it wilt slightly before serving.
