I'm not even done with my first helping of this and I'm hooked. This is crazy easy and tastes so fresh and light and lovely. This flavor combo is amazing. I got a recipe off Epicurious and switched it up. It's perfect for 1 person, and can easily feed 2. The quinoa and sauce make tasty and healthy leftovers. YUM!
Most of this is verbatim on Epicurious, but I've included my additions and changes...
2 garlic cloves, sliced
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup Chardonnay or other dry white wine
1 (28- or 32-oz) can whole tomatoes in juice
Fine sea salt to taste
10 pitted kalamata olives
1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup capers
1 .61 lb lemon sole fillet (to be exact)
5 oz baby spinach
2 cups cooked quinoa (*Make the quinoa after you put the fish in)
Preparation
Make sauce:
Cook garlic in 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy large deepish pan over moderate heat (on stovetop), stirring until softened - 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine and boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes with juice and capers. Break them tomatoes with a spoon and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Add sea salt and pepper to taste and remove from heat.
Prepare fish while sauce simmers:
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Finely chop olives and basil with a knife.
Lay fish fillet, skinned sides down, on a work surface and season with pepper. Spread the basil/olive mix over the fillet and spread evenly. Beginning at narrow end, roll up the fillet.
Bake fish:
Arrange fish roll, seam sides down, in an oven-safe medium casserole dish. Drizzle with remaining tablespoon oil and bake, uncovered, in middle of oven, until fish is just cooked through, about 18 minutes.
In a dinner bowl, spread a light layer of baby spinach. Spoon 1/2 cup quinoa on the spinach. Cut the fish fillet in half and place 1 half on the quinoa. Spoon the tomato mixture around the fish to your liking.
Then smile, cause you eatin' gooooooood tonight. :)
