Ingredients
2 (1-lb.) fish filets (cod, halibut or catfish
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 white onions, peeled and chopped
6 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
4 large tomatoes, blanched, peeled, and chopped (or a 28-oz. can whole tomatoes)
20 large green olives such as manzanillas, pitted and chopped
2 tbsp. capers, rinsed
