Red Snapper Puttanesca (Cooking Light) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    20 ounces red snapper fillets or 20 ounces other white fish fillets
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    2 scallions, chopped
    3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
    1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
    8 nicoise olives, pitted and sliced
    2 tablespoons drained capers
    1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 bay leaf
    1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (Italian) or 1 tablespoon dried parsley
    1/2 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
    optional flat leaf parsley (to garnish)
Preparation
    Preheat an oven to 350\u00b0F (180\u00b0C).
    Place the snapper fillets in a shallow glass baking dish and top with the lemon juice and pepper.
    Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the scallion and garlic and saute, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add the drained tomatoes, olives, capers, anchovies, basil, oregano and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
    Pour the sauce over the fillets and top with the chopped or dried parsley. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the fish just separates when pressed with a fork, about 30 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf.
    To serve, divide among 4 individual plates. Top each with a lemon wedge and a parsley sprig.
