Fresh Fish of the Day in Puttanesca Sauce

The Strategy:

Simmering fresh, flaky white fish in a robust tomato sauce spiked with anchovies, capers, olives, and artichoke hearts yields a classic Italian dish packed with savory depth. Cooking the fish covered in the simmering sauce locks in moisture, ensuring every bite is tender, juicy, and infused with flavor. It is a wonderful, rustic way to showcase the freshest catch from your local market with pantry staples.
