How to Make Fish Fillets With Mediterranean Sauce

  1. **Prepare the Sauce:**
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  3. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and reduced to your desired consistency.
  5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. **Prepare the Fish:**
  7. **Method 1: Oven-Baked**
  8. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  9. Butter a baking dish large enough to hold your fish fillets in a single layer.
  10. Place the fish fillets in the dish.
  11. Dot each fillet with 1 teaspoon of butter, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  13. **Method 2: Steamed**
  14. Place fish fillets on a large piece of aluminum foil.
  15. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  16. Fold the foil securely around the fish, creating a sealed packet.
  17. Place the foil packet in a steamer basket over boiling water.
  18. Steam for about 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  19. **To Serve:** Spoon the Mediterranean sauce generously over the cooked fish fillets and enjoy!
