TILAPIA (OR SALMON) VERACRUZ
I love preparing fish during the week as it is quick & easy (start to table in less than 30 minutes). Flavors reminiscent of Veracruz, Mexico. Spicy (but not hot--unless you want it that way). Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Generously grease 8" cast iron skillet or 8" square baking pan. Very lightly salt and pepper fish fillets
- 2. Combine Rotel, olives, garlic, cumin, black pepper, jalapeno, sugar and 2 tsp EVOO and set aside. (Sugar counteracts acidity in the tomatoes). **You could substitute plain diced tomatoes or about 1-1/2 cups of grape or cherry tomatoes, halved in lieu of the Rotel.
- 3. Put remaining 2 tsp EVOO into skillet & heat on medium high on stove top. When it just starts to smoke, place fish, "pretty side" down, and lightly sear for 1-2 minutes. Turn fish. Remove from heat and pour tomato mixture over fish. Place in preheated oven about 4-5 minutes until fish flakes easily. Serve hot with your favorite pasta or rice and a veg or a beautiful, mixed garden salad.

VERACRUZ-STYLE RED SNAPPER
I like red snapper for this, but any white, flaky fish will work. By the way, many Veracruz-style fish recipes call for pickled jalapenos, but I think there's plenty of acidity in this from the lime and tomatoes, so I like the fresh pepper a little more.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare the sauce: Place oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the tomatoes, chopped thyme, lemon zest, and half of the olives, capers, and peppers. Simmer briskly, stirring, for about 5 minutes to evaporate some of the liquid. Reduce the heat to medium-low, stir in 1 cup water and simmer for 15 minutes. Taste and season with salt. Cool.
- 2. Preheat a gas grill to medium-high or light a charcoal fire and let it burn just until the coals are covered with gray ash and very hot. Reduce the heat on one side of the gas grill to medium-low or set up the charcoal grill for indirect cooking by banking all of the coals to one side, leaving the other half of the grill empty. Set the cooking grate in place, cover the grill and let the grate heat for 5 minutes.
- 3. Oil the grill and both sides of each salmon steak; sprinkle fish with salt. Cook the salmon over the hottest part of the grill for about 4 minutes, until nicely browned underneath. Carefully flip over the fish onto the cooler side of the grill; cook 2 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare.
- 4. Spoon the sauce into a deep platter and nestle the fish in it. Let stand at room temperature for about an hour to bring together the flavors of the fish and the sauce.
- 5. To serve, sprinkle the fish with remaining olives, capers, and peppers; garnish with the thyme sprigs. Serve immediately.
