Directions
-
Sprinkle the fillets with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the fillets and sear each side for about 4 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and place on a plate. Cover loosely to keep warm.
-
Add the onion and red pepper to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, and red pepper flakes and bring to boiling. Lower the heat to simmer and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until the sauce is thickened. Add the olives and capers and cook for 1 minute.
-
Serve the sea bass with the sauce, finishing with a sprinkle of basil.
