Ingredients

4 tablespoons olive oil
2 sweet red bell peppers, 1 pound, thinly sliced, about 2 cups
2 cups thinly sliced onions
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons water
1 large fillet of codfish, about 2 pounds, cut into 4 equal portions
2 tablespoons flour
1 garlic clove, crushed

Steps:

Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan. Add the red peppers, onions, salt and pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat for 10 minutes. Remove and drain the excess oil.
Put the mixture in a food processor or blender. Add the lemon juice and water and chop coarsely. Set aside.
Put the pieces of fish on a flat surface and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Dip the pieces in flour, coat well on all sides and shake off the excess flour.
Heat the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat in a nonstick skillet. Add the pieces of fish. Cook and brown both sides for five minutes. Add the garlic and the reserved pepper and onion mixture. Cover and cook for five more minutes. Serve very hot.
