INSTRUCTIONS
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until hot. Add onion
and bell pepper; cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in jalapeno
pepper and garlic; cook 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of the
cilantro, the olives, capers, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the
pepper., the sugar, thyme, oregano and bay leaf. Reduce heat to low and
simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove bay leaf and simmer the sauce 20 to 25 more minutes, or until
thickened. Stir in lemon juice. Taste and add additional salt, black pepper
and/or lemon juice, if needed.
In a shallow bowl or plate, combine flour, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt
and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dip fish fillets in the flour mixture to
coat.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot. Add
fish, skin side down, making sure fillets do not touch each other. Cook 3
to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel
lined platter to drain.
Immediately serve fish fillets with the sauce spooned over the top and
garnished with remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro.
