Ingredients

4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
4 (5-ounce) sea bass fillets (or other white fish)
1 small onion, diced
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup canned low-sodium diced tomatoes, with juice
1/2 cup chopped pitted black olives
2 tablespoons capers
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper, optional
2 cups packed fresh baby spinach leaves
Salt and pepper

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet heat 2 teaspoons of oil over a medium-high heat. Add fish and cook until opaque in the center, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a platter and tent with foil to keep the fish warm.

Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in the same skillet; add onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives and capers and crushed red pepper, if using, and cook for 3 minutes more. Stir in the spinach and cook until it is wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over the fish and serve.

Staple dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've been making this dish regularly since I discovered it over a year ago. I never get tired of it. The flavors meld... together beautifully, and it's so healthy. I've never tried it with sea bass, but I've cooked it many times with salmon or shrimp, as well as chicken. I serve it with couscous, brown rice or any type of pasta. Very versatile. I always avoid cooking with wine since I have young kids. I'm unsure about what to substitute for the white wine. I substitute it with one fourth cup of a vinegar, such as apple cider, red wine or balsamic, plus one fourth cup of water. I like how it turns out!Read more

Spectacular!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this with wild Chilean Sea Bass. I changed two things. I used double the crushed red pepper or 1/2 tsp. and fire... roasted diced tomatoes. I served it over Near East garlic and olive oil cous cous. It is very healthy and absolutely delicious. It was also very easy to make. Read more

FABULOUS IF I SAY SO MYSELF
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Used thick sea bass and per the fishmonger's instructions seared them in 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 veg. oil and then baked at 325... for 15 minutes. Fish was moist and delicious - the sauce is incredible - served over mashed potatoes. Looked good and tasted even better.Read more

Easy and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this last night for dinner using halibut ,since our local fish market sold out of sea bass, and it was delicious. There... was a fair amount of leftover sauce and my husband ate it right out of the serving dish. Next time I'll double the sauce to freeze for the future. Super easy and quick to make. Read more

This is really quick and easy and tastes great. Wonderful meal for after work when there isn't much time. The flavor is... wonderful, my husband licked his plate. I also made some pasta and served the sauce over it with the fish on the very top. Thanks Ellie!Read more
