Steps:
- Heat a skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion. Cook, stirring, until the onions are tender, about 3 minutes. Add the diced roma tomatoes, jalapeno, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 3 more minutes.
- Add the canned tomatoes and reduce heat to a low simmer. Stir in the olives, capers, dried oregano, lime juice and parsley. Cover and let cook, simmering, while you prepare the fish.

- Heat a non-stick skillet with oil over medium-high heat. When very hot, place fish filets skin side down and press down with the back of a spatula to flatten the filet and the skin is flush with the skillet (it tries to curl). Cook fish, pressing occasionally with the spatula, until the fish is nearly opaque and cooked through, with just a small raw area on the very top, about 6 minutes. Using a sturdy spatula, carefully flip the snapper and continue cooking until the top is cooked through and golden brown, about 3 more minutes. Remove fish from pan and let rest on a wire rack for 2-3 minutes, while the you prepare the zucchini and squash.
- Using the same skillet with the heat over medium-high, add one additional tbsp of olive oil. Add the zucchini, squash, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until just tender and golden on the edges, 5 to 6 minutes.
- To serve, scatter the sauteed squash and zucchini across a platter. Top with the fish and ladle desired amount of the sauce over the fish. Serve with lime wedges. Enjoy!

- 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.
RED SNAPPER VERACRUZ SKILLET
Found in "The Healthy Heart Cookbook" from Oxmoor Publishers (The "Southern Living" folks). According to their nutrition info, this has 3.8 g net carbs and 2.6 g fat. I made a couple of changes to use what I usually have on hand, but the original recipe called for pimiento and green chiles. I usually use grouper, and DH enjoys it with pasta. The preparation time includes the marinating time, during which you can also do the chopping and slicing. The cooking time is even shorter if you use thinner fillets and minimal liquid from the tomatoes. Note very small amount of salt (DH and I are on salt restricted diets).
