White Fish in Homemade Tomato Sauce

Hello, welcome. Thank you so much for being here!

The star of this recipe is, hands down, the homemade tomato sauce – especially when it’s made with tomatoes from your very own garden. The slow sauté of the onion on a low heat brings incredible flavor to the sauce. Then pop in your homegrown tomato varieties to bring a pleasant sweetness to the savory dish.

I recommend serving this dinner over a grain that can really soak up the incredible sauce. Our go-to is rice or quinoa.

Need help managing the abundance of tomatoes from the garden? This sauce here does it. You can even make this sauce for spaghetti or pizza. Phenomenal flavor!

This delicious dish is incredibly easy to whip up – it all comes together in just one pot.

Plan of Action

For a 5 PM dinner, start sautéing the onion at 4:30 PM. While the onion sautés, start cooking your grain. Set the table or clean up the kitchen while your fish cooks in the sauce. Enjoy!
