An alternative to baking or frying, cooking the fish in a little water results in a tender, flaky fish along with a tasty broth. Plate in shallow bowls or rimmed plates, spoon the vegetables on top of each piece of fish, and serve with crusty bread to soak any leftover broth.

Serves 4
  • 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1/2 cup pitted, halved kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup capers
  • 1 tablespoon minced Italian parsley leaves
  • 3 to 4 white fish filets, such as flounder, sea bass, or sea bream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Heat the olive oil in a large lidded skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, and celery, and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes, olives, capers, and parsley, and stir to combine.
