Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ red chilli, finely chopped
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • 4 tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 4 x 150g snapper fillets
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. You will need an ovenproof baking dish that is large enough to hold the fish fillets.
  2. Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons of the oil, along with the garlic, chilli and red onion and cook, stirring for about 2 minutes or until garlic is golden.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, then add herbs, capers and wine and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir through the chopped tomato.
  5. Heat a large heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Brush fish with remaining oil and sear on each side for 2 minutes.
  6. Transfer to an ovenproof baking dish and spoon salsa over fish.
  7. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until cooked.
  8. Serve with roasted vegetables and a green salad.
