Ingredients

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb flaky white fish, such as haddock, tilapia or cod (see tip), cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 can 14-ounce diced tomatoes
1 Anaheim or poblano chile pepper, chopped
¼ cup packed chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbsp sliced pimento-stuffed green olives
1 Tbsp capers, rinsed
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp salt
½ cup water, as needed
1 avocado, chopped (optional)

Directions

1. Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

2. Add fish, tomatoes and their juices, chile pepper, cilantro, olives, capers, oregano and salt; stir to combine. Add up to 1/2 cup water if the mixture seems dry. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with avocado (if using).

Tip: Opt for firmer hook-and-line-caught haddock or U.S.-farmed tilapia. Pacific cod also works, but will be more flaky.
