Ingredients

4 red snapper fillets
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup olive oil + 1 tablespoon for the fish
1 medium-sized red onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 red, green and yellow bell pepper, cut in slices
1/4 cup white wine
Sugar, to taste
1 sprig thyme
2 seedless pear tomatoes, sliced
5 basil leaves

Directions

1

Season the fish with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the frying pan and heat it, cooking the fish fillets for about 6-10 minutes per side. Remember, the cook time will vary depending on the cut or thickness of each fillet. Once cooked, cover to keep warm while prepping the sauce.

In another large frying pan, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium-high heat. Sautee the onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Incorporate the peppers and cook for 2 minutes, or until tender.
3

Add the wine, sugar, thyme and tomatoes. Cook for 2 more minutes and toss in the basil. Pour the sauce over the hot fish. Let rest for 5 minutes and serve with the side of your choice, such as white rice or tortillas.
