- Add the tomatoes, capers and olives and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the dried herbs, fish stock and potatoes. Mix all ingredients well.
- Season with salt and pepper both sides of the fish.
- Add the fish to the skillet and cover with the sauce and vegetables. Cover with lid and cook for 10 minutes (or until fish is cooked through) over medium heat.
- Once the fish is cooked through, season with salt & pepper according taste.
Notes
- The ideal fish to substitute for the red snapper, should have a thicker and firmer flesh like the following:
- Grouper
- Sea bass
- Tilapia
- Cod
- Catfish
- Queen snapper
- Haddock
