Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 Whole Red Snapper (cleaned and scaled. About 2 to 2/12 pounds in weight.)
2 tablespoons of lime juice.
2 Tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 cup of finely chopped white onion
4 garlic cloves (finely chopped.)
1.5 Lbs tomatoes, chopped (or 28 ounces crushed tomatoes)
4 tbsp flat parsley (finely chopped (about 1/4cup).)
2 tbsp fresh thyme (chopped)
2 Bay leaves
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1/2 cup of Pimiento Stuffed Olive (whole or sliced.)
1 Tablespoon small capers (rinsed.)
1/4 cup raisins (Optional see note bellow*)
4 Pickled Jalapenos peppers, thinly sliced
1/4 cup dry white wine **
Salt and pepper to taste.
Warm Mexican White Rice to serve. (Optional)

Steps:

  • Season the fish with salt, pepper and lime juice inside and out. Set aside.
  • In a large ovenproof frying pan, heat the oil in on medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until transparent. Your frying pan has to be big enough to fit the fish. If you do not have a large enough oven-proof frying pan, then have a large baking dish ready to bake the fish there. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes or chopped tomatoes to the frying pan and cook for about 8 minutes. Add the herbs. Keep cooking for 4 more minutes or until sauce is cooked.
  • If using the dry white wine, add it while the tomatoes sauce is cooking.
  • Before adding the red snapper, add the pickled jalapeños, raisins, olives and capers and cook until the flavors combine, about 4 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
  • To bake the fish, add some sauce to the bottom of the baking dish, then place the fish and cover it with the rest of the sauce; bake for about 30 minutes or more. The fish meat should flake when you insert a fork. (If you want to cook it using the stove-top method, place the fish into the frying pan and cover with some of the sauce. Place a lid and simmer until fish is cooked.). The cooking time will depend on the size of the fish.

  • note
  • Never heard of quinoa? Crystal invites you to get to know one of her favorite ingredients. Although quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) has been around for centuries, it isn't a mainstream pantry item in American kitchens. It has a similar texture to that of couscous or rice, with a slight crunch and a somewhat nutty flavor when cooked. Quinoa is considered a super food because it contains more protein than any other grain, and this protein is complete, containing all nine essential amino acids. Look for quinoa at your local grocery. Your body will thank you for it.
