Fish fillets are baked in a tomato sauce with onion, red peppers, capers, and green olives to create this Mexican fish dish.

Ingredients | Pescado Frito Con Patacones Panama

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, diced

2 pounds plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped

1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

1 cup tomato puree

1 teaspoon salt

1 cube fish bouillon

½ teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 bay leaves

20 pitted green olives

2 tablespoons capers, rinsed

¼ cup butter

8 large white fish fillets

6 pickled banana peppers, sliced

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a rectangular baking dish large enough to fit the fish fillets in a single layer.

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in plum tomatoes and red bell pepper; simmer until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato puree; cook for 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir salt, bouillon cube, oregano, cinnamon, pepper, and bay leaves into the saucepan. Cook until flavors combine, about 10 minutes. Add olives and capers; simmer for 5 minutes. Remove sauce from heat.

Melt butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Season fish fillets with salt and pepper; cook in the hot butter until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

Lay fish fillets in the baking dish in a single layer; cover with sauce. Arrange sliced peppers on top. Cover baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.

Substitute jalapeno pepper slices for the banana peppers if preferred.
