Easy Whitefish with Burst Cherry Tomatoes
Whitefish with Burst Cherry Tomatoes is possibly the simplest summer meal on the planet ~ it's delicious and it's ready in 15 minutes.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound whitefish fillets, (2 large fillets) or any fish you like
- 1 pint multi-colored cherry tomatoes, rinsed
- 1 lemon, cut in small wedges
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/4 cup dry white wine, optional
- 1/4 cup (a handful) fresh basil leaves, green, purple, or both!
- 1 Tbsp minced fresh dill
- salt and fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Turn the broiler on high, and set the rack on the highest setting.
- Toss the cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and set aside.
- In a broiler safe skillet heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil until hot. Add the fish fillets, skin side down, and cook for about 3-5 minutes, without moving them, until you start to see them browning on the bottom, and the fish starting to cook and turn white along the sides.
- Add about half of the tomatoes to the pan, along with the lemon wedges, and put under the broiler for 5 minutes. Add the rest of the tomatoes and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until the fish just flakes and the tomatoes are bursting.
- Note: You can do the tomatoes separately on the stove top in a skillet if you like, just toss them around for a few minutes over medium high heat until they start to burst. Then add to the fish just before serving.
- Hit the pan with a splash of white wine, if using, season with salt and pepper, and serve, garnished with lots of fresh basil leaves and dill scattered over the top.
