2 pounds of fish (I usally grab a big pack of fish from Costco)
6 tbls olive oil
2 finely chopped garlic cloves
3 chopped tomatoes
1 tsp dried oregano

Bring about 2 inches of water to a simmer in a deep skillet
Add the fish and cook for 10 minutes or until tender
Remove fish with slotted spoon
Put ¼ cup of oil in a medium saucepan with the garlic and cook over medium heat until garlic is lightly golden
Add tomatoes, oregano, and salt and pepper
Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes or until sauce thickens
Preheat oven to 400
Choose a baking dish large enough to hold the fish in a single layer
Spoon a thin layer of sauce into the dish
Arrange fish on top
Spoon on the remaining sauce and drizzle with the reaming oil
Bake for 30 minutes or until the sauce starts bubbling

This meal is awesome. If you choose thinner fish you can reduce the cooking time.

Is this really necessary?

The ingredients state that you need 6 tablespoons. You use 4 of them in the medium saucepan cooking the garlic. The two remaining tablespoons go on top of the fish for flavor.

No, it’s not necessary, but it makes the fish taste better.

Thanks to the clarification. I now see that 'remaining' oil was not intended to be 'reaming" oil.

I didn't catch that trickery in your second post.
