Fish to the Veracruzana in the Frying Pan

Heat oil in a large frying pan.

Fry the onion, garlic and chopped jalapeño chili (optional, I added it whole just to flavor and remove it afterwards), until the onion is clear or citrotoly.

Add tomato, olives, bay leaf, oregano, capers, parsley and water. Season the fish fillets to taste with salt and pepper.

When the tomato sauce is about to boil, add the fish fillets, trying to accommodate them unspliced and covering with the sauce.

Let boil, cover and simmer for about five minutes or until fish is fully cooked.

We serve hot, accompanied by rice, salad, avocado and bread or crackers. Add hot sauce like Valentina or Sánchez's Widow and you'll suck your fingers!
