Sofrito is a classic Spanish seasoning used for many different dishes. We serve it with fresh fish for a light yet flavour-packed meal.

Ingredients

Uncooked snapper fillet

1 pound(s), four 4-oz pieces

Olive oil

2 tsp(s)

Onion

1 large, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)

Green bell pepper

¼ pinch(es), freshly ground

Fresh parsley

2 tbsp(s), fresh, chopped, for garnish

Water

¼ cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Sauté snapper until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes per side. Remove fish from skillet; set aside and keep warm.
  2. Heat oil in same skillet. Add onions and peppers and cook, stirring and shaking pan, until vegetables are quite soft, wilted and browned, about 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook 2 to 3 minutes.
