Poached Fish with Fire-Roasted Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ½ inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 can (15 ounces) fire-roasted chopped tomatoes, no salt added
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon curry powder (optional)
- 1½ pounds fresh firm white fish (cod, halibut, haddock), cut into 3-inch pieces
- ½ cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Sauté the onion until translucent, 5–7 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, tomatoes (with juices), sea salt, pepper, and curry powder. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Nestle the fish in the sauce, cover, and cook until opaque (about 8–10 minutes). Be careful not to overcook. The fish will add its own liquid to the dish.
- Serve sprinkled with fresh parsley.
Good to know
- Tips: This is great served over a bed of lightly sautéed kale. Leftover fish in tomato sauce can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
