Ingredients ()
- 12 tomatoes, chopped
- 6 jalapeno peppers, chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano

- In a medium saucepan, bring the tomatoes, jalapenos, oregano, and garlic salt to a boil for about 8 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and released their liquid. Remove from heat and allow to cool a bit. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the sauce to the pan, stir in the chopped onion and cilantro, and heat gently until warmed through. Keep the sauce warm until ready to serve.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (you can use as little as 2 tablespoons oil or up to 1/2-inch deep). Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper, then carefully place them in the pan; you may need to cook in two batches if your skillet isn't large enough to fit all four fillets at once. Pan-fry the fish until the first side is opaque, then flip and continue cooking until the other side is cooked and the center is opaque. Cooking time will depend on the thickness and type of fish, but generally takes 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked fish to a serving platter or individual plates and spoon the warm sauce over the top. Serve right away.

When blending hot liquid, let it cool for about five minutes, then transfer to a blender, filling only halfway. Place the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to prevent splashing, and pulse until smooth.
