I came up with this recipe last night in an attempt to do something different with flounder....it came out even better than expected....really delicious, and surprising that this combination of spices goes so well with fish.
2 TBsp olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
8 oz. can tomato sauce
1/2 cup tomato paste
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tsp oregano (dried)
fresh ground black pepper
1.5 pounds fresh flounder fillets, sliced into 3 inch square pieces
In very large skillet, saute onion, garlic in olive oil until tender. Add basil and saute for another few minutes. Add everything else except fish. Bring to a boil and stir so that paste is mixed in. Simmer on low for 10-15 minutes. Add fish and simmer for an additional 15 minutes or until fish is completely cooked.
Serves 4. This is especially good served with pasta (I used multi-colored twists) that has been tossed with butter, some more chopped fresh basil, and some grated parmesan cheese.
