How to Make Italian Fish Portions

  1. Sauté 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat until the onion is softened but not browned (about 5 minutes).
  2. Whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1 (28 ounce) can of undrained crushed tomatoes in a separate bowl.
  3. Pour the tomato mixture into the saucepan with the onions and garlic. Stir in 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened and bubbly (about 3-5 minutes).
  5. Continue to simmer for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. While the sauce simmers, cook your fish portions according to package directions.
  7. To serve, spoon the hot tomato sauce generously over the cooked fish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or your favorite cheese) and serve immediately.
