Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel.
  • In a medium ovenproof frying pan set over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When the oil is lightly smoking, add the garlic, 1 teaspoon of the red pepper flakes, the anchovies, and the shallot and fry until the garlic is golden and the anchovies are almost completely dissolved, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the capers, olives, and wine and let everything simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes, sugar, and oregano and simmer for another 10 minutes, gently breaking the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon to pop them open as they cook.
  • Place the fish fillets in the pan, cover them with the tomato sauce, top with the slices of lemon, and bake in the oven for 15 minutes, until the fish is fully cooked through.
  • Before serving, stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes and the butter until it melts, then sprinkle with the parsley.
