Cooking Lesson: Fish Skillet

The official start of the summer season is creeping up and that means only one thing: the pursuit of easy cooking. I stumbled upon one of those recipes the other day and I wanted to share it with you.  It was a winner with the whole family and so easy.

You have these ingredients already in your pantry (or if not, you should).  Cherry tomatoes (a pint is always in my refrigerator - so versatile in dishes like this, with eggs, on salads, etc.), capers, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, good olive oil, salt, pepper, an onion, a lemon.  Make sure you have an oven proof sauté pan such as All Clad, that has a couple inches coming up the side (NOT nonstick, the heat will be too much).

Actually, all I needed to go and out and buy was the fish and the whole grain bread, both I like to buy fresh anyway.

You want a firm white fish that won't fall apart during cooking.  You could use tilapia or cod.  I used monkfish this time, which holds up very well to all sorts of cooking.  It is a great fish to put in stews too.
