Ingredients (12)

  • 100ml olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 600g canned chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
  • Pared rind of 1 small orange
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 100ml dry white wine
  • 4 x 150g skinless white fish fillets (such as blue eye or snapper), deboned
  • 20 small black mussels, scrubbed, beards removed
  • 4 slices woodfired bread
  • 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves

Method

  • 1.
    Preheat the oven to 170°C.

    Heat the olive oil in an oven-proof frypan over medium heat. Add the onion, season well with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes or until softened. Slice 3 garlic cloves and add to the pan with the tomatoes, olives, orange rind and bay leaf. Cook for a further 1 minute. Add the wine, then place fish fillets in the pan in a single layer. Cover and place in the oven for 4 minutes. Add mussels and return to the oven for a further 4 minutes until the fish is cooked and the mussels have opened (discard any mussels that haven't opened after this time).

    Meanwhile, heat a chargrill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the bread with extra oil and grill until toasted. Halve the remaining garlic clove and rub bread with the cut side.
  • 4.
    Divide fish fillets and mussels among 4 shallow bowls, ladle over sauce and top with parsley leaves. Serve with the grilled bread.
