Number Of Ingredients 13

4 Tilapia Fillets (About 1 ½ pound)
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ medium white onion (diced)
2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
4 Roma tomatoes (diced)
1 bay leaf
1 small sprig of fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried Mexican oregano (finely crushed)
2 pickled jalapeño peppers (sliced)
1/3 cup pimento stuffed olives (whole or sliced)
1 ½ tablespoons capers (drained)
¼ cup dry white wine
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until onion is slightly transparent. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cover frying pan. Cook for 8 minutes to allow the tomatoes to release their juices.
Add bay leaf, thyme, oregano, jalapeño peppers, olives, capers, and white wine to the frying pan. Season with salt and pepper and keep cooking for 4 minutes to allow the
flavors to blend and the sauce to reduce.
Gently add the fish fillets, spoon some of the tomato sauce over them, and cover with lid again. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until fish is cooked.
