03/04 - Chef Michael Flores-Tilapia Veracruz Style

Tilapia Veracruz Style

This recipe comes from the shores of Mexico and is probably one of the easiest fish dishes to make. Chef Flores suggests serving it with white rice that is studded with peas, corn, and/or carrots.

4-6 4 ounce tilapia fillets

Salt

Cumin

3 tablespoons avocado oil

a white onion (about 1 c.), chopped

7 garlic cloves, sliced thin

2 jalapenos, fresh, thinly sliced (or to taste)

3 tomatoes, chopped

1 cup green olives, sliced

Juice of 1 lemon

1 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place the fish fillets in a 13" x 9", non-reactive pan (i.e.,Pyrex) and sprinkle with salt and cumin.

Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook for one minute. Next add the garlic and jalapeno and continue cooking for one more minute. Add the tomatoes next and saute for approximately four minutes. Finally add the sliced olives (Chef Flores likes using large, whole olives that I then slice into three pieces.) and lemon juice. Taste and adjust the salt if necessary.

Pour the sauce over the seasoned fillets and bake, uncovered for 25 minutes. Sprinkle the cilantro over the entire dish when done. Serve atop white rice or with hot corn tortillas.

Serves 4-6
