Directions

  1. 1
    Combine diced tomato, green pepper and onion in a bowl and set aside.
  2. 2
    In a non-stick pan, add olive oil and heat over med-low heat (lightly coat whole bottem of pan with oil, but not too much or you start frying)

    Cover the pan and let fillets simmer.

    Adjust heat as necessary.
  6. 6
    I have had fillets take only 10 minutes to cook and others have taken 20 minutes.
  7. 7
    Check on the fillets with a fork.
  8. 8
    The fish should flake and fall apart when done.
  9. 9
    About 5 minutes before fillets are done, spoon diced veggies onto fillets.
  10. 10
    Cover and cook until done.
  11. 11
    I always make extra diced veggies to add to my cook fillets later.
