03 — Method
- Make the sauce vierge by mixing the diced tomatoes, capers and chopped olives in the bowl.
- Add the chopped basil, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice and balsamic vinegar.
- Season the sauce and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes so the flavors develop.
- Season the flesh side of the fillets and dust lightly with flour, tapping off the excess.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the skillet and sear the fillets skin-side down for 4 minutes until crisp.
- Turn carefully and cook 2 minutes on the flesh side until just opaque.
- Plate the fillets on warm plates and spoon the sauce vierge generously over them just before serving.
