Huachinango a la Veracruzana

Ingredients
- 2 pounds red snapper fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 can diced tomatoes (14 ounces)
- 1/4 cup green olives sliced
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and bell peppers. Sauté until they become tender and fragrant.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, green olives, capers, parsley, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together.
- Place the red snapper fillets in a baking dish and season them with salt and pepper. Spoon the tomato and vegetable mixture over the fish, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve the Huachinango a la Veracruzana with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over the fish for extra tanginess.
