Any tender white fish will work in this recipe. Thicker fillets of fish will take a few minutes more of cooking time.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs red snapper, fillets
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 Tbs vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 medium tomato, coarsely chopped
  • 2 Tbs capers, (or more to taste)
  • 1/2 cup green olives
  • 1 medium bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • Lemon slices to garnish

Directions

  • Heat oil in a nonstick skillet.
  • Dip snapper pieces in flour. Place snapper pieces in skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side.
  • Add onions to pan. Cook for 2 minutes, shaking pan to prevent sticking. Add tomatoes, capers, olives and bell pepper strips to fish, gently stirring while cooking.
  • Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 5 minutes more. Add wine and bring to a gentle boil.
  • Season with pepper and a pinch of salt, if desired. (Capers can be very salty, so take care not to oversalt).
  • Garnish with lemon slices.
