Ingredients:

  • 4 portions Regal Tuna, defrosted
  • 2 tbsps Olive Oil
  • ½ small Onion, diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 (400g) tin peeled Plum Tomatoes, chopped, juices reserved
  • 2 tbsps Capers, chopped  (optional)
  • Handful Black Olives, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp chopped red chilli
  • Handful fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh Lemon Juice

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C/Gas Mark 6.
  2. In a medium frying pan, heat olive oil and sauté the onion until tender (approx. 5 minutes).
  3. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes and juices, capers (if using), olives, chilli and parsley. Bring to the boil, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Spread a couple spoonfuls of the sauce in the bottom of a baking dish and arrange the fish in a single layer in the dish.
  5. Drizzle lemon juice over the fish, and then pour the remaining sauce over to cover.
