Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and 8 oz sliced mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes with their juices. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes, until slightly thickened.

  4. Step 4

    Gently place 1 lb fish chunks into the sauce. Cover and simmer until fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
