Ingredientes

Para la salsa de tomate casera:

  • 1 kg de tomates maduros
  • 1 cebolla picada
  • 2 dientes de ajo picados
  • 2 cdas de aceite de oliva
  • 1 cdita de azúcar (Opcional para reducir la acidez)
  • Sal y pimienta al gusto
  • Mix de orégano, tomillo y albahaca

Para el mero:

  • 4 filetes de mero fresco (aprox. de 200 g cada uno)
  • 2 tazas de tomates cherry cortados por la mitad
  • 1 taza de aceitunas verdes deshuesadas y cortadas en rodajas
  • 4 dientes de ajo picados finamente
  • 1/4 taza de alcaparras escurridas
  • 1/2 taza de vino banco seco
  • 1 ramita de albahaca fresca
  • Aceite de oliva virgen extra
  • Sal y pimienta al gusto

Elaboración paso a paso

    Iniciamos esta preparación con la salsa de tomate. Haz un corte en forma de “X” en la base de cada tomate. Luego sumerge cada tomate en agua hirviendo durante 1 minuto y luego en agua fría. La piel se pelará fácilmente. Pela, desecha las semillas y corta los tomates en trozos.

    En una olla grande, calienta el aceite de oliva a fuego medio. Agrega la cebolla picada y el ajo, cocina hasta que estén dorados. Añade los tomates a la olla y cocina a fuego medio durante unos 15-20 minutos hasta que los tomates se deshagan, mezclando ocasionalmente.

    A la mezcla anterior, agrega sal, pimienta y hierbas al gusto. Si los tomates son ácidos, puedes añadir una cucharadita de azúcar para equilibrar. Reduce el fuego a bajo y cocina a fuego lento durante 30 minutos hasta que la salsa espese, removiendo ocasionalmente. Finalmente, con una licuadora o procesador de alimentos, tritura la salsa hasta obtener la consistencia deseada. Si la quieres más suave, puedes colocarla.

    Una vez lista la salsa, comenzamos a preparar el mero. En una sartén grande, calienta 2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva a fuego medio. Agrega el ajo picado y saltea hasta que esté dorado.

    Añade los tomates cherry y cocina hasta que se ablanden. Vierte el vino blanco y deja que se reduzca a la mitad.

    Agrega la salsa de tomate hecha previamente, las aceitunas y las alcaparras. Cocina a fuego lento durante 15-20 minutos. Mientras tanto, sazona los filetes de mero con sal y pimienta al gusto.

    En una sartén, calienta un poco de aceite de oliva y cocina los filetes de mero por ambos lados hasta que estén dorados y cocidos en su punto.

    Incorpora los filetes a la salsa de tomate y aceitunas, añade la albahaca fresca y cocina a fuego lento durante cinco minutos más.

Sugerencias para un mero con salsa de tomate y aceitunas más delicioso

  • Para el mero, te recomiendo optar por filetes frescos y de calidad. Pregunta a tu pescadero por las mejores opciones.
  • Si no deseas hacer la salsa de tomate, puedes sustituirla por pasta de tomate. Si la compras en un lugar casero, mejor.
  • Mezcla aceitunas verdes y negras para obtener muchos más sabores. Puedes elegir aceitunas rellenas de ajo o almendras para un toque extra.
  • Además de la albahaca, a mi me encanta añadirle orégano o tomillo al final de la cocción para preservar su aroma.
  • Exprime un poco de limón sobre los filetes de mero antes de servir, le añadirá un toque mucho más refrescante.
  • Si no quieres utilizar vino blanco, puedes sustituirlo por caldo de verduras o pescado, vinagre de sidra de manzana o jugo de manzana.
  • Si te sobra salsa de tomate, puedes almacenarla en un recipiente hermético en el refrigerador para mayor conservación.

Cuáles son los mejores acompañamientos

Una guarnición creativa aportará más vistosidad y por supuesto más sabor a este delicioso mero, que solo ya es perfecto. Sin embargo, si deseas acompañarlo con algún extra, te dejo mis opciones favoritas:

  • Elige una pasta fresca como fettuccine o linguini para sumergirla en la salsa y disfrutar de una experiencia deliciosa.
  • Coloca brócoli, zanahoria y espárragos con aceite de oliva y hierbas al sartén u horno, una opción muy saludable.
  • Una sopita de verduras verdes, antes o como acompañamiento del mero también proporcionará mucho sabor.

Más recetas con mero

Este pescado es bastante adaptativo a diversos sabores, sean dulces o salados.

Si te gusta el dulzor, puedes preparar un mero en salsa de mango que está para repetirlo muchas veces. Ahora, si lo que quieres es una entrada deliciosa y muy marina, el ceviche de mero con pocos ingredientes es una buena opción.

Otras opciones a considerar son mero a la pescadora con mucha salsa, mero a la parrilla o nuestra versión del mero al horno con papas, un plato muy suave y contundente.
