Description
A delicious one-pan white fish recipe with salsa and sautéed vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 bell pepper, any color (thinly sliced)
- 1 small onion (halved and thinly sliced)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot)
- 14 ounce can fire roasted tomatoes (undrained)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 14 ounce can black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
- 1 pound white fish (such as pollock, tilapia, flounder, or cod)
- ½ lime
- For serving: cooked rice, tortilla chips, cheese (queso fresco or cheddar), cilantro, sour cream, and additional lime wedges
Instructions
- In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the peppers and onions and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds more.
- Reduce heat to medium low and add the salsa, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, coriander, and salt. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add the beans and corn, stir, and bring back to a simmer.
- Add the fish, pushing down slightly so it sits mostly in the sauce. Cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish. For more reliability use an instant-read thermometer to make sure it’s at 145ºF in the thickest part of the filet. Also look for color inside changing from translucent to opaque. TIP: If the sauce needs to thicken slightly, remove fish, cover loosely with foil, and simmer sauce UNCOVERED 5 minutes or until it’s reduced and thickened.
- Squeeze lime juice over fish. Serve over rice. Top fish with tortilla chips, cheese, cilantro, sour cream, and additional lime wedges.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the fish is properly thawed if using frozen.
- You can adjust the spice level by choosing the salsa’s heat level.
