  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and anchovies, stirring until the anchovies dissolve.
  3. Pour in the wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up bits, and let it simmer for about 4 minutes.
  4. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, and thyme to the skillet; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in the olives and capers, season the fish with sea salt, and place it into the sauce ensuring it's partially submerged.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
  7. Garnish the fish with fresh basil or parsley and red pepper flakes if desired, and serve with garlic bread.
