Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced

  • 4 (6 ounces each) skinless snapper fillets

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and jalapenos; cook 1 minute.

  2. Add tomatoes and 3/4 cup water; cook until almost evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in olives and oregano.
