Welcome to cooking with Ling, today I'm sharing a simple recipe for fish in tomato sauce that's keto friendly.

Show the ingredients: 1 basa fish fillet, 2 medium tomatoes, 8 garlic cloves, 4 green onions, olive oil, salt, white pepper powder, Shaoxing cooking wine, and water.

Start by cutting the vegetables: separate the white part of the green onions from the green part and chop them into pieces.

Chop the garlic cloves finely.

Cut the tomatoes into chunks.

Slice the fish fillet carefully, making sure not to slice too thin.

Season the fish with a bit of salt, white pepper powder, and Shaoxing cooking wine, then mix.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add olive oil.

Sauté the minced garlic and the white part of the green onions until aromatic, about 30 seconds.

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and season with salt to help draw out the juices, sautéing for about 1 minute.

Add enough water to cover the tomatoes, less than 1 cup, and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, gently add the fish to the pan and stir.

Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the fish is almost done, then add the green onions and stir again.

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper powder if needed.

The fish is ready when it's tender and the sauce is juicy.
