This Broiled Fish Matecumbe recipe is so easy and can be mostly made ahead and cooked at the last moment. it’s loaded with vibrant flavors that are surprisingly, satisfyingly delicious together.
Beautiful tomatoes, kicky shallots and onions, briny capers, bright lemon, and fresh basil. A quick dinner for busy weeknights, yet impressive enough for entertaining definitely give this one a try!
In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, capers, olive oil, basil, lemon juice, shallots, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, stirring gently.
Meanwhile, place fish fillets on a rimmed baking sheet. Season both sides of the fish evenly with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/16 teaspoon pepper.
Because the tomato topping is best if made ahead and refrigerated for at least an hour (or up to a day ahead), almost all of the work in this recipe can be completed ahead of time.
