Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound onions (2 medium), chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 to 1 whole jalapeño or serrano pepper, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried
8 large Spanish or Italian green olives, pitted and chopped
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons capers, chopped if large (tiny ones can be left whole)
2 1/2 cups peeled canned low-sodium tomatoes
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 pounds red snapper, sea bass, halibut, or cod
Juice of 1 lime

Steps:

  • In a nonstick pan, sauté the onions in hot oil until they begin to soften and color. When they color, add the garlic and jalapeño and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the oregano, olives, cinnamon, and capers to the onion mixture and stir. Squeeze the tomatoes between your fingers and add, with the bay leaf. Simmer for 10 minutes. Refrigerate.
  • To serve, wash the fish and squeeze the lime juice over it. Refrigerate for no more than 1 hour.
  • Reheat the sauce slowly. Arrange the fish in a large skillet, spoon the sauce over it, and cook according to the Canadian rule: measure the fish at its thickest part and allow 8 to 10 minutes to the inch. Remove the bay leaf and serve the fish with its sauce over boiled potatoes or rice.
