Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add in the garlic and onion and saute/fry for 3 min. Add in the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Add in the bell pepper and stir for 2 min. Add in the salt, pepper, bay leaves, and oregano. When the mix returns to a boil, cover and cook over low heat for 8 min. Add in the olives and capers and cook another 5 min. Correct the seasonings and remove from the heat.
  2. Twenty min before serving, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Rinse the fillets, pat dry, and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a large skillet, add in the fillets and brown lightly on both sides. Transfer to a greased baking dish and cover with the sauce. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 10 to 15 min. Garnish each fillet with a chile before serving.
  3. This recipe serves 6.
  4. Note: You can use a whole fish if you prefer, but you will need to increase the baking time.
  5. Comments: This famous dish combines chiles and tomatoes from the New World with the very Spanish addition of capers and olives. It is traditionally served with a scoop of white rice.
