  2. Melt butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and anchovy fillets, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the anchovies dissolve.
  3. Pour in the dry white wine and cook for about 4 minutes until it slightly reduces.
  4. Add canned whole tomatoes, dried oregano, and thyme. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Stir in black olives and capers, and season the fish fillets with sea salt. Nestle the fish gently into the sauce.

  7. Serve by dividing fish among plates, spooning sauce over top. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and sprinkle red pepper flakes.
