Quick and dirty fish recipe.

This is a very simple fish dish great for weeknights adn for a change
from plain broiled fish.

fish, either thick or thin. I have used tilapia, salmon o whtever is
cheap at the fishman.

Lemon- about 1/2

sliced onions

Sliced green or other colored pepper

Salt and Pepper

Salsa of a hotness you enjoy.

Put the fish in a microwave safe pan and squeeze lemon juice al over it.
Add the sliced onions and peppers, salt and pepper and spread them around.
pour on some salsa, enough to jsut cover the fish and vegetables, cover
the pan with plastic wrap(well about the level of he food) and microwave
unti done. naturally, the thin fish will cook sooner than the thick, so
check every few minutes. If you put in enough onions and peppers, it an
be a one dish meal alonge wiwth a salad adn bread adn butter for the
non-diabetics in your family.

Along with the onions and peppers I add cracked pepper, mushrooms and
crushed (canned) tomatoes. I just cook up some veggies to go with it.

I prefer to use more salsa, which has lots of tomato, but the mushrooms
are a good idea, as is the cracked pepper. I generally just use freshly
ground black pepper in all my cooking.

Yes. the salsa or tomatoes stop the fish drying out I find.

I've said here before and will probably say again that one of my
favorites is catfish filets baked in salsa. I had that just last Friday
night. YUM!

When you say Salsa, do you mean home made or the stuff in a jar you dip corn
chips into? My home made salsa is raw.

Hey Nick,

I hope you do not mind me forwarding that recipe onto my e-mail so I can try
it out.

Whichever you prefer. For quick, I use the jarred, using one with no
sweetener and little salt(for my husband) and a medioum heat and that I
can find inexpensively. works fine.
