# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a medium saucepan and warm up the olive oil on medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook it until it turns golden (around 3 minutes). Throw in the tomatoes, garlic, raisins, capers, and spices with some salt and pepper. Let it come to a boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
02 -
Set your oven to 400°F so it heats up while you prep.
03 -
Dry the fish with a paper towel. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
04 -
Spoon half the tomato mixture into the bottom of a baking dish (9 1/2 x 13 inches). Lay the fish on top, drizzle with lemon juice, scatter the zest, and cover it all with the rest of the sauce.
05 -
Pop the dish into the oven and cook for 15-18 minutes until the fish is just done and flakes easily with a fork. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't get overdone. Add fresh herbs on top before serving, and enjoy while it's warm.
# Notes:
01 -
This Mediterranean dish features a tender fish with a rich and tangy tomato-caper sauce.
02 -
Be sure your sides are ready beforehand, as this fish tastes best when eaten fresh out of the oven.
