Spicy caribbean fish

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 pounds Fish fillets
⅓ cup Fresh lime juice
⅔ cup Water
1 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Whole annato (achiote) seeds; optional
⅓ cup Chopped onions
⅔ cup Chopped scallions
3 Garlic cloves; minced or pressed
1 Fresh hot pepper; minced or
½ teaspoon Cayenne
3 Tomatoes; chopped
⅓ cup Chopped fresh parsley
½ teaspoon Dried thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

MARINADE

SAUCE

Place fish fillets in lightly oiled, flat baking pan. Pour marinade over them, cover and chill ½ hour. Saute annato seeds in oil a few minutes, stirring constantly and making sure they do not brown. Remove annato seeds from reddish-orange oil and then add onions, scallions, garlic and hot pepper. Saute a minute or two before adding tomatoes, herbs and seasonings.

Simmer 5 minutes. Pour off marinade and cover fish with sauce. Bake at 350F until flaky. This will take about 20 minutes for small or thin fillets and 30 minutes for thicker, larger ones. Garnish with lime wedges and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
