Prep Time: 45 minutes - Yield: 6 servings
SAUCE
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 cup coarsely chopped onions
2 garlic cloves, minced, or 1 teaspoon chopped garlic in water (from 4.5-ounce jar)
1 (16-ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained, cut up
1/2 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed green olives
2 to 4 tablespoons chopped green chilies
1 tablespoon capers, if desired
1 tablespoon lemon juice
SNAPPER
1 1/2 pounds red snapper fillets, (1 inch thick)*
2 to 4 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Dash paprika
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or coriander, if desired
1. GRILL DIRECTIONS: Melt 2 tablespoons margarine in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; cook and stir until tender. Add all remaining sauce ingredients; blend well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 30 to 45 minutes or until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, heat grill. When ready to grill, carefully oil grill rack. Place snapper steaks on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Brush steaks with 2 tablespoons of the melted margarine. Cook 10 to 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork, turning once and brushing occasionally with remaining margarine.
3. To serve, arrange fish on serving platter; drizzle with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and sprinkle with paprika. Spoon warm sauce over fish and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
