Instructions

Step 1

In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the peppers, onions and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds more.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium low and add the salsa, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, coriander, and salt. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add the beans and corn, stir, and bring back to a simmer.

Step 3

Add the fish, pushing down slightly so it sits mostly in the sauce. Cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Cooking time will depend on thickness of fish. For more reliability use an instant read thermometer to make sure it's at 145ºF in the thickness part of the filet. Also look for color inside changing from translucent to opaque. TIP: If the sauce needs to thicken slightly, remove fish, cover loosely with foil, and simmer sauce UNCOVERED 5 minutes or until it's reduced and thickened.

Step 4

Squeeze lime juice over fish. Serve over rice. Top fish with tortilla chips, cheese, cilantro, sour cream, and additional lime wedges.
