Salmon, Italian Style with Chianti

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 ½ cups thinly sliced white onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 can diced tomatoes (I used Hunts with basil, garlic and orgeano)
1 ½ cups dry red wine (I used the wine club Chianti)
⅔ cup sliced Castelvetrano olives
¼ cup drained capers
1 ½ tsp Italian Seasoning
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 (6 ounce) fillets sea bass
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup chopped fresh Basil

Directions:

Step 1: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until soft. Stir in garlic, and saute about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, wine, olives, capers, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Heat to a simmer.

Step 2: Place Salmon into sauce. Cover, and gently simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Transfer fish to a serving plate, and keep warm.

Step 3: Increase the heat, and add butter to sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens. Stir in basil. Serve sauce over fish and top with fresh basil if desired.
