VERACRUZ-STYLE RED SNAPPER
I like red snapper for this, but any white, flaky fish will work. By the way, many Veracruz-style fish recipes call for pickled jalapenos, but I think there's plenty of acidity in this from the lime and tomatoes, so I like the fresh pepper a little more.

- For the freshest red snapper, look for fish that has bright red eyes, a firm texture, and no fishy smell.
- If you're using frozen red snapper, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or under cold running water.
- To prevent the fish from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is hot before adding the fish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're cooking multiple pieces of fish, cook them in batches.
- Season the fish generously with salt and pepper before cooking.
- Cook the fish until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking, as this will make the fish dry and tough.
- Serve the red snapper immediately with your favorite sides.
