Sea Bream in Crazy Water (Orata All’acqua Pazza)
Tender white fish in a spicy, savory, bright tomato broth makes for a delicious and light Italian meal. I like to serve this with a light side salad.
Servings: 2
Calories: 409kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 pound sea bream 1 whole fish, gutted and cleaned, or use haddock, snapper, striped sea bass, or even branzino fillets that are about 1 inch thick with the skin on
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper fresh ground
- 3 garlic cloves sliced thin
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes use 1/4 teaspoon if you like more heat
- 2 green onions sliced thin
- 1/2 pound cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil good quality
- 1/4 cup parsley minced
Instructions
- Season the fish all over (inside and out) with the salt and pepper.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large nonstick pan over high heat. When hot, add the fish and cook for about 5 minutes, or until just starting to brown (it should sizzle as soon as you put it in).
- Flip the fish and add the sliced garlic and chili peppers, onions, and tomatoes. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Add the white wine and cook until little to no liquid remains, another 2 minutes or so. Add the water and cover the pan with a lid. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until they eyes turn opaque white and the fish is tender. If you are cooking filets rather than a whole fish, add them skin side down and cook until the flesh flakes easily, about 7-12 minutes total without flipping them.
- Transfer fish to a serving pate. Return the pan to heat and turn the heat as high as it will go, bringing the liquid to a rapid boil. Add half the parsley and the olive oil. Boil for 1 minute then remove from heat. Pour over fish and sprinkle with remaining parsley.
