Pan-Fried Fish and Tomatoes

  1. Chop cilantro. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Check fish for bones, then season both sides of fish with salt and pepper (wash hands).
  2. Place olive oil in pan; swirl to coat. Crush garlic, using garlic press, into pan. Use knife to remove garlic from bottom of press. Add onions; cook and stir 2–3 minutes or until onions begin to soften.
  3. Add tomatoes, cilantro, and fish to onions; cook fish 2–3 minutes on each side or until 145°F (or opaque and separates easily). Squeeze juice of both lemons (about ¼ cup) over fish and serve.

Cabbage Radish Slaw

  2. Whisk remaining ingredients (except cabbage) in medium bowl until blended; stir in radish mixture. Add cabbage; toss gently until evenly coated. Chill until ready to serve.

Apron's advice

Complete your meal with yuca, fresh cut fruit, and garlic bread.

The slaw recipe, with radishes and a little jalapeño pepper, has a peppery crunch. It would be great served on barbecue pork sandwiches or just as a quick side dish.
