How to Make Red Snapper Livornese

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, until tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and sauté for 1 minute.
  4. Stir in 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 tablespoon capers, 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives (halved), 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in an 11x7 inch baking dish.
  7. Arrange 1 pound red snapper fillets (or other firm fish fillets) in a single layer in the dish.
  8. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the fillets.
  9. Pour the remaining sauce over the fish.
  10. Bake for 15 minutes for 1/2-inch thick fillets, or 30 minutes for 1-inch thick fillets. Baste once halfway through baking.
  11. The snapper is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately.
