Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 4 fish fillets
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 lime sliced
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil
  • SAUCE
  • 1 1/2 cups salsa (mild)
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (one 4 oz can is perfect for this)
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • Garnish
  • Cilantro
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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!
