    Ingredients

    • 4 red mullet fillets, skin on, about 125g each
    • Salt and black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • For the sauce
    • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
    • 1 small yellow pepper, chopped
    • 1 shallot, finely chopped
    • 2 tablespoons dry vermouth
    • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
    • 350g plum tomatoes, skinned and roughly chopped
    • 8 large stoned black olives, roughly chopped
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaved parsley

    Method

    • Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the shallots and the pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    • Stir in the garlic, and all the tomatoes, olives, and oregano. Cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

    • Add the vermouth and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper, and reduce until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat. Set aside.

    • Meanwhile, heat the extra oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Cook the fish fillets skin side down for 4 minutes. Turn them with care and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes until they are clear-looking and flaky.

    • Portion the fish into serving plates. Pour a little of the sauce into each portion. Follow with the parsley.

    • Serving Suggestions: Serve with potatoes, vegetables, rice, bread, or pasta.
