Ingredients

2 orange roughy fillets (approx. 10 oz.)

couple squeezes of fresh lime juice

1/8 C Tequilla of your choice (I use Sauza Hornitos)

1/3C triple sec

1 tsp safflower oil

2 tsp. salt divided

2-3 cloves of garlic, minced

1/2 red onion, diced

1 pepper finely chopped ( I use sweet banana, serrano or jalapeno)

1/8 tsp. ground cumin

dash of Cholula hot sauce

pinch of crushed red pepper

2 Tbs. chunky tomato salsa

1/8 tsp. sugar

ground black pepper to taste

pad of butter (I prefer 3/4 Tbs. earth balance vegan buttery sticks)

Directions

Rinse fish, pat dry with paper towel, and place in a shallow glass pan. Mix together lime juice, tequilla, triple sec, 1 tsp. salt, garlic and oil. Pour mixture on fish, and marinade one hour, covered, at room temperature. Turn fish occasionally.

For the Salsa~ In a saucepan, combine:

red onion, pepper, cumin, Cholula, crushed red pepper, tomato salsa, sugar, and remaining 1 tsp.salt. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste.

After one hour, pour the liquid from the marinade into the saucepan containing the salsa mixture. Boil until the liquid has reduced into the salsa.

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle to medium high, toss in your butter and cook the fish until opaque, flipping to brown on both sides.

Serve over wild rice, or along side any vegetable, with a generous spooning of the salsa marinade on top the fish.
