1 Heat oil in a large, deep frying pan on medium. Saute chilli and garlic for 1 min. Add tomato, olives and capers. Bring to simmer.
2 Add fish to pan, ensuring it is just covered with sauce. Reduce heat to low. Simmer gently 8 -10 mins, until fish flakes. Stir chopped basil through and season to taste.
3 Using fish slide, transfer fish to plates, spooning sauce over. Top with extra basil leaves and serve with torn crusty bread.
TIP: Pin bones are the smaller bones that run through the middle of the fillet to the backbone. Use your finger to feel for them then pull them out with tweezers.
