- In a medium-sized frying pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onions and fry until soft and lightly coloured.

- Add the chilli and garlic and fry for 30 seconds before adding in the spices. Stir briefly before adding the tomatoes, water, wine and puree.

- Pour the sauce over the fish and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. Serve with potatoes or bread or for a lighter dish serve it with salad.
