Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets or other white fish fillets
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 cups canned crushed tomatoes with juice
- 1 Anaheim chile, stemmed, seeded and cut into thin strips
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup pitted and halved green olives
- 1/4 cup capers, drained
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the fish fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper, to taste. Saute the fillets until they are opaque and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a glass baking dish where they fit snugly.
In the same saute pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, Anaheim chile, bay leaf and oregano and bring the pan to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and let the sauce simmer until the chiles soften, about 6 minutes. Uncover the pan, add the olives and capers, and cook until the flavors combine, about 4 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, to taste.
Pour the sauce over the fish in the baking dish. Bake until the fish is heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven, discard the bay leaf and serve.

Loved it!!! Awesome!!! I didn't do the capers or green olives but after reading a couple reviews I wish I'd at least used the olives. My husband doesn't like tomato-y dishes but he loved this one...Success!!!!

The sauce was just excellent...but you couldn't taste the fish at all. I don't really like fish so this wasn't too big a deal for me. My husband wished I went a little easier on the sauce or tried it with a more flavorful fish (I used tilapia. Still new at working with fish so I may try it again, but will probably use less of the sauce and maybe try a little 'heftier' fillet. Generally though, this went over well with the eaters!
