Ingredients

• Fish fillets (such as tilapia or snapper) - 300 grams
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Fresh parsley, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Tomatoes, diced - 200 grams
• Onion, finely chopped - 1 small
• Bell pepper, diced - 1/2
• Cilantro, chopped - 1 tablespoon
• Chili flakes (optional) - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Place the fish fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated, and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the fish is marinating, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil.
4. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to simmer and thicken.
6. Add the chopped cilantro and chili flakes (if using) to the sauce, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.
7. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated fish fillets on the grill.
8. Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
9. Serve the grilled fish topped with the tomato and onion sauce.
