Pesce al cartoccio (Baked Fish in wine)

Ingredients

4 fillets of any fish that you like
2 onions sliced
5 cloves garlic
1 cup cherry tomatoes
10 olives
2 Table Spoons of Capers
1.5 cups white wine
Handful of fresh chopped basil
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Layer a deep baking pan with foil and spread the sliced onions at the bottom. Pour the 1.5 cups of white wine on top of the onions and place the fish on top of the onions and top with garlic, tomatoes, olives, capers and basil. Drizzle with some olive oil, salt and pepper.


Bake for about 30 minutes, opening the foil on top to allow the fish to brown a little bit.

This recipe is very easy to make as you can use frozen fish fillets too without defrosting them first. Just pop everything in the oven and enjoy the fusion of Mediterranean aromas that come out from this dish.

Serve with sauteed veggies on the side or a Caprese salad, using Part-Skim mozzarella between slices of plump red tomatoes and fresh basil leaves.
