Fish with Red Sauce

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

This simple meal can be a romantic option for a ZReduction dinner. Use high quality ingredients and in less than 20 minutes your meal can be complete. Plating makes it even more special.

Servings: Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 2, 6-8 ounce pieces of high quality fish. I suggest halibut or sea bass.
• salt and pepper to taste
• ¼ cup of vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 cup of minced yellow onion
• 1-1/2 red bell peppers, chopped
• 15 oz can of diced organic tomatoes. I used the ones with garlic added or you can add your own bit of garlic for extra flavor.
• salt to taste
• cayenne to taste

Instructions:

For the fish: Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper. Spray lightly both sides of the fish with olive oil spray. Broil the fish, skin side down 5 – 8 minutes or until firm. You definitely know these fishes are done when they start to separate.

For the sauce: In a sauce pan, add the broth. Then add the onions and red pepper bits. Saute on medium-high until they are both fully wilted and just beginning to brown on the edges. Add a bit of a sprinkle of cayenne (to your taste. Be careful. You can always add more, but it’s impossible to take it back out). Set aside.

In your blender add the tomatoes. Then carefully add the peppers and onion mixture. Blend until smooth. Put back in the pan and reheat. Taste again to see if it needs a bit of salt or cayenne.

Each person gets 1/3 cup of sauce and a half cup of veggies on the side for a full Z2 portion.

Special plating can make it even more romantic. Sea bass most especially has a beautiful buttery flavor.

You will have extra sauce left over that you can use for a steak sauce or over chicken.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
