Fish in my personal opinion is already tasty regardless of how you cook them whether is poaching, frying, in soups or baked these versatile ingredient will turn out most of the times good but sometimes adding sauces can make it even better by enhancing and complementing its flavour while removing that fishy taste and smell. Don’t you agree?

Today we will be using a white delicate fish and amping it up with some salty acidic tomatoey goodness from sun-dried tomatoes and capers, add to that some garlic and onions then this light meal is your prefect delicious quick and easy meal that you can serve in 15 minutes tops.
