Grilled Amberjack with Tomato Basil Caper Sauce image

Healthy, delicious, thick sauce made with simple fresh ingredients reminiscent of a bruschetta topping cover a grilled mild white fish. I like to serve it with brown rice that has been mixed with butter and Parmesan cheese. If you are watching fat and calories, omit the butter and cheese.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup baby spinach
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons capers
4 (4 ounce) fillets amberjack, cut 3/4-inch thick

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until softened, 2 to 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, salt, and pepper; cook and stir over medium heat until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach, basil, and capers. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and sauce is thick and chunky, 10 to 20 minutes.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat.

  • Serve fillets topped with sauce.
