Cooking Instructions

40 minutes
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F

  2. 2

    Coat a heavy duty skillet and a large casserole dish with cooking spray

  3. 3

    To the skillet add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the garlic, onion, and celery and cook on medium- high heat for about 4 minutes, but not hot enough or long enough to brown them.

  4. 4

    Add in the cherry tomatoes, capers, Italian seasoning, 1 tsp ground fennel, salt, pepper, hot sauce, wine, and water. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, cover tightly and continue to simmer for about 5 minutes until vegetables are tender

  5. 5

    Rub both sides of fish with with the remaining olive oil, ground fennel, and salt and pepper. Place them in the bottom of the casserole dish. When the vegetables are done, top the fish with the mixture and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center of the fish is opaque.

  6. 6

    Once baked, take out of the oven and add in parmesan cheese and basil. Stir. The fish will likely break up into chunks, I like it better this way instead of trying to keep them whole. Stirring should also cause the tomatoes to breakdown a bit, this will create that delicious herby tomato sauce. At this point I like to just toss in the angel hair, but it can also just be served on top of the noodles. Enjoy!
