Method

  1. 1 Clean the whole fish and make a few incisions along its body.
  2. 2 Sauté garlic and dried chilies in olive oil in a pan large enough to fit the fish.
  3. 3 Place the fish in the pan, drizzle with white wine, then add cherry tomatoes and olives.
  4. 4 Pour water in until it only covers half of the fish's body; this is just water, not broth, so there's very little of it.
  5. 5 Simmer for 15 minutes, occasionally ladling the broth over the fish, sprinkle with parsley, and serve with the broth.

With an appliance

  • Oven 35 min

    Replace step 5: Cover the heat-resistant pan and simmer the fish on the middle rack of the oven at 180 degrees for 15 minutes; the heat will surround the fish, so there's no need to add water midway, and you can still sprinkle parsley after removing it from the oven.
