The key to any good fish dish is to be very selective when purchasing your fish. Then prepare it right away.

Fresh fish is never stinky. Period.

It’s true that some types of fish have a stronger flavor than others, but if it’s fresh it will not smell bad or have a twangy flavor.

Make sure to buy wild fresh-caught fish when possible. If you have a hard time finding fresh fish where you live, ask the person behind the seafood counter to get you completely frozen fish fillets from the back.

Never (ever) buy the fish that has been thawed and sitting out in the case all day.

This Low Carb White Fish Pomodoro recipe calls for “white fish” meaning, whatever kind of light flaky white fish you like best!

I used grouper fillets in the photos, however it tastes amazing with monkfish and even cod.

Pomodoro sauce is a quick-made tomato sauce, heavy on the basil.

This time of year I like to use canned crushed tomatoes in my pomodoro sauce, but during the summer you can make it with sweet vine-ripened tomatoes!

The pomodoro sauce offers a fresh vibrant note and rustic texture to the fish that is unique from most fish recipes.

Low Carb White Fish Pomodoro

Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 18 minutes
Low Carb White Fish Pomodoro Recipe. An easy paleo-friendly meal that tastes amazing! Serve as-is or with zucchini noodles.
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 3-4 skinless white fish fillets (grouper, cod, monkfish, halibut)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot, peeled and finely chopped
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes (1 can)
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped basil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil. Salt and pepper the fish fillets on both sides. Once the oil is hot, sear the fish fillets until cooked through. For thin fillets like grouper, cook 2 minutes per side. For thicker fillets like cod, cook 4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add the garlic and shallots to the skillet. Saute for 2-3 minutes to soften. Then add in the crushed tomatoes and honey. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste, and salt and pepper as needed.
  • Stir in the fresh basil and add the fish fillets back to the skillet. Simmer another 1-2 minutes to reheat the fish. Serve warm as-is or with a side of raw zucchini noodles.

Notes

NOTE: During tomato season, make this recipe with fresh tomatoes! Cut an X in the top of 10-12 fresh Roma tomatoes. Blanch them in boiling water for 1 minute. Peel off the skins and chop the tomatoes. Then substitute the fresh chopped tomatoes for the can of crushed tomatoes.
