Here’s an enlightened version of a classic, Mexican sauce, that is ready for the slow cooker in only 10 minutes. While the fish cooks in the sauce, steam some brown rice and toss a quick green salad. Using a zesty orange-based dressing complements the Veracruz sauce nicely. Spoon rice in to a shallow bowl and top with the fish and sauce. This dish is full of beautiful colors in contract to the flaky white fish, making it ideal for dinner guests. The sauce can also be made-ahead easily. Simply stir in the parsley and lime juice, cool and place in the fridge for up to 3 days. Not just ideal with fish, the sauce alone can be served over simple chicken breasts or alongside seared pork tenderloin.
