Veracruz-Style Red Snapper

Recipesfull introduces to you: Seafood Recipes. (Veracruz-Style Red Snapper). I like red snapper for this, but any white, flaky fish will work. By the way, many Veracruz-style fish recipes call for pickled jalapenos, but I think there's plenty of acidity in this from the lime and tomatoes, so I like the fresh pepper a little more.
