"A very easy and quick fish recipe. I used grouper - but tilapia, snapper, flouder, halibut, or cod would work. I don't suggest a spicy salsa, but something mild that doesn't overpower the fish. Also, make sure to use a good salsa - I used some of my own which I canned, but try to use a quality salsa. And, my apologies for no olives in my picture, but I was serving this to a friend who doesn't eat them and unfortunately her picture was the only one worth posting. But please add them ... they really make the dish."

Step 1
Fish ... Add the salsa, olives, and white wine to the bottom of a 9x9 square or similar size baking dish (use one that best accommodates the 4 fillets) and mix well. Top with the 4 fillets (room temp - not ice cold) and brush with olive oil, then squeeze the lime juice over the fish and the salsa, and season with salt and pepper. Add 1-2 lime slices on each fillet and cover with foil.
Step 2
Bake ... Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and bake on the middle shelf until tender and flaky. All fish will take different baking times; thin fish, such as tilapia, flounder, snapper will take about 15-20 minutes; whereas grouper and thicker cuts will take longer - Anywhere from 20-30 minutes. You just need to check on them.
Step 3
Serve ... I like to serve this over plain white recipe, but a yellow rice would be a nice alternative or even polenta. Simply spoon some of the sauce over the fish and garnish with fresh cilantro. ENJOY!
