Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • ½ small onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 5 whole canned tomatoes, drained and chopped

  • 2 tablespoons capers, chopped

  • ½ cup sliced black olives, drained

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • ½ tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 pound red snapper fillets

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, capers, olives, pepper flakes, and parsley. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.

  3. Spread 1/2 cup sauce in an 11x7-inch baking dish. Arrange snapper fillets in a single layer over sauce. Drizzle fillets with lemon juice, then pour remaining sauce over top.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes for 1/2-inch thick fillets, or 30 minutes for 1-inch thick fillets. Baste once with the sauce while baking. Snapper is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
