Last night I was caught with nearly a pound of fresh tomatoes. Just sitting there. Staring at me. Practically screaming "EAT ME!" SO, I got to work. I wanted fish, but couldn't figure out how to combine the two and a salsa type topping seemed too simple. This is what I came up with:
(Pictures forthcoming!)
Ingredients:
2 Tbs. Olive Oil
3 Green Onions, chopped
1/4 C. Red Onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Small bunch of basil, coarsely chopped
1/4 C. bacon, chopped into small pieces
1 lb. fresh tomatoes, peeled and halved
1 Tbs. dried oregano (fresh and finely chopped would be better!)
Dash of Sriracha sauce
1/8 C. Sugar
1 small can sliced black olives
Salt/Pepper to taste
4-6 Flounder filets
Directions:
Sautee green onions, onion, and garlic in olive oil over medium-high heat until onions are transluscent, but garlic is not browned. Add bacon, stirring until bacon is slightly crisped. Add tomatoes, oregano, and basil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add sugar, salt, pepper, olives and sriracha. As the tomatoes cook down, smash the large pieces in the pan to create a thick sauce, stirring occasionally until liquid cooks off and sauce thickens. While sauce is cooking down, season the fish with salt/pepper. Lay the filets on top of the sauce, allowing them to cook through - approximately 5 minutes.
Serve, sauce on bottom, fish on top.
Die from yummy.
