My halibut with a burst of lemon comes together in one pan and stays super moist. Try it with polenta, angel hair pasta or crusty bread. —Danna Rogers, Westport, Connecticut

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 poblano peppers, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 cup chopped pitted green olives
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 halibut fillets (4 ounces each)
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 lemon wedges
Crusty whole grain bread, optional

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add poblano peppers and onion; cook and stir 4-6 minutes or until tender.
Stir in tomatoes, olives, garlic, pepper and salt. Bring to a boil. Adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Add fillets. Cook, covered, 8-10 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with lemon wedges and, if desired, bread.

Editor's Note

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
