Despite its Creole overtones, this is a popular way to prepare various fish all over the Cayman Islands.

Ingredients

2-1/2 lbs  (1.25 kg)  mahi mahi or red snapper fillets
3 tbsp  (45 mL)  lime juice
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  vegetable oil
1 large onion, peeled and sliced
1 green pepper, sliced
1 cup  (250 mL)  seeded, diced tomatoes
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  tomato paste
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp  (5 mL)  hot pepper sauce
salt and pepper

Preparation

Place fish in a shallow dish. Sprinkle evenly with lime juice and 1/2 cup (125 mL) water. Turn over and let stand for 15 minutes.

Heat half the oil in a large non-stick skillet set over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Increase heat to high and add green pepper. Stir-fry for 3 minutes.

Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, for 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened. Transfer to a platter.

Remove fish from lime mixture and pat dry. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Add remaining oil to pan. Add fish and cook, turning once, for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden and flaky. Return vegetable mixture to pan and cook until reheated.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Fast & Easy: 30 minutes or less (prep and cooking time).
