Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Combine tomatoes, olives, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, and capers together in a bowl. Place flour in a shallow bowl.

  3. Place fish on a flat work surface and season with salt and pepper. Dredge one side of each fillet in flour.

Add 1/2 the tomato mixture. Add onion, garlic, bay leaves, and thyme. Saute 3 minutes more. Nestle fillets into the skillet.

  5. Place skillet in the preheated oven and roast until fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes.

Recipe Note

A delicious, light dish with yummy Mexican flavors. A great change to grilled or roasted fish. Mexican rice is a great side for this.
