Caribbean-Style Fish

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons diced pimientos
  • 2 tablespoons sliced black olives
  • 2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning salt
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
  • 4 (6 oz) white fish fillets (such as snapper, grouper, or orange roughy; about 1 ½ lb)

  • 3 cups sliced fresh bell peppers and onions
  • 1 cup shredded green (or purple) cabbage

Steps

    1. Combine in microwave-safe dish: orange juice, pimientos, olives, seasoning, cornstarch, and horseradish. Nestle fish in sauce mixture, turning to coat (wash hands). Cover dish tightly with plastic wrap; microwave on HIGH 8–10 minutes until centers of fillets separate easily and are 145°F.
