Introduction

Great way to "grill" any white fish. We used yellow-eye sea bass and it is delicious. Also can use red snapper, trout, cod, and halibut. I intend to use this family favorite with all of these and anything else they drag up and fillet. Great way to "grill" any white fish. We used yellow-eye sea bass and it is delicious.

Ingredients

    2 C sweet pepper, strips or coarsely chopped chunks

    3 cloves garlic, minced
    1 T olive oil
    24 oz. (approx.) salsa, medium
    1/3 C dry red wine
    3 T lemon juice (or lime)
    2 t oregano, dried, crushed
    1 t cumin, ground
    1 C ripe olives, halved
    2 T capers, drained

Directions

*Prepare grill, preheat to med high (350 degrees F)
*In large skillet, sauté green pepper, onion, and garlic in oil until tender.

*Remove from heat and stir in olives and capers. Cool uncovered for 5 minutes.
*Cut aluminum foil into 8 12-inch lengths. Place fillets on 4 of the pieces. Top each with 1/4 of the sauce. Cover with another piece of foil; seal edges tightly. Place packets on a baking sheet to transfer to the grill.
*Place packets on grill using indirect heat. Cover and cook 30 minutes -- fish should flake easily in center.
