Here’s another recommended recipe we found from Good Housekeeping.Reference Link:
Provençal fish fillets:
Provençal refers to the type of sauce that these fish fillets are cooked in. Made up of tomatoes, white wine and garlic, this type of sauce makes for a delicious base.
This fish stew dish would be delicious served alongside a crusty white loaf of bread, couscous or mashed potato for a more substantial meal.
We use plaice in this recipe, however it would work just as well with skinned sea bass, lemon sole or sea bream. If you want to use a thicker fillet of fish, such as hake, cod or halibut, then fry for slightly longer on each side, around 3min. Press the fish gently with a cutlery knife to check if it’s cooked. It will flake easily if it is, with no jelly-like texture to it and turned opaque throughout.

Fish tip
The fish is easier to fry if it’s lightly dusted with plain flour, but the fish won’t look as golden. Keep the heat high under the frying pan so the juices don’t escape from the fish.
