Recipe Instructions

Sprinkle fish with salt and refrigerate until needed. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a large (12-inch) skillet with a lid. Add onions and artichokes; cook 8 minutes until onions are soft and translucent. Add tomatoes, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Transfer to a saucepan and keep warm.

Wipe out skillet and return to a medium-high flame. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and heat until very hot. Add fillets in a single layer and cook 2 to 3 minutes without shaking the pan, until golden on the bottom. Flip fillets with a spatula. Top with artichoke mixture, reduce heat to low, cover and cook 3 to 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
