Cozumel is home to magnificent Veracruz-style red snapper. You can't bring it home, so create your own. Try parchment paper instead of the foil packet.
Ingredients:
4 red snapper fillets (6 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup white wine or chicken stock
2 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/3 cup pitted green olives, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
hot cooked israeli couscous and chopped fresh cilantro, optional
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°. Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper. Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish; drizzle with wine. Top with tomatoes, onion, olives, jalapeno, capers and garlic; drizzle with olive oil.
2. Bake 35-40 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. If desired, serve with couscous and sprinkle with cilantro. Yield: 4 servings.
