Italian Pan Fried Fish

Italian Pan Fried Fish
Prep 15 min Cook 10 min Serves 4 Source

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic (whole flatten gently with a knife)
  • 10-15 cherry, grape or datterino tomatoes (cut in half)
  • 3-4 tablespoons Italian parsley (finely chopped) divided
  • 1 pound piece of perch (halibut or cod or fish of choice)
  • 1-2 pinches salt

Steps

  1. 1

    In a medium-large skillet, on medium-high heat warm the olive oil and garlic, add the tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of parsley and sautee for 3-5 minutes. I usually cook them longer up to 10 minutes and I squish them, we like the tomatoes cooked well.

  2. 2

    Add the fish and turn to cover in the sauce from the tomatoes, sprinkle with 1-2 tablespoons of parsley, cover and cook on low/medium for 3-5 minutes then flip over, uncover and cook for an additional 3 or 4 minutes until fish is cooked (opaque and flakes when cut with a fork and not transparent) there should still be some sauce in the pan. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
