TILAPIA (OR SALMON) VERACRUZ
I love preparing fish during the week as it is quick & easy (start to table in less than 30 minutes). Flavors reminiscent of Veracruz, Mexico. Spicy (but not hot--unless you want it that way). Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Generously grease 8" cast iron skillet or 8" square baking pan. Very lightly salt and pepper fish fillets
- 2. Combine Rotel, olives, garlic, cumin, black pepper, jalapeno, sugar and 2 tsp EVOO and set aside. (Sugar counteracts acidity in the tomatoes). **You could substitute plain diced tomatoes or about 1-1/2 cups of grape or cherry tomatoes, halved in lieu of the Rotel.
- 3. Put remaining 2 tsp EVOO into skillet & heat on medium high on stove top. When it just starts to smoke, place fish, "pretty side" down, and lightly sear for 1-2 minutes. Turn fish. Remove from heat and pour tomato mixture over fish. Place in preheated oven about 4-5 minutes until fish flakes easily. Serve hot with your favorite pasta or rice and a veg or a beautiful, mixed garden salad.
