Snapper Vera Cruz

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

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

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.
