Rub the fish fillets with salt, black pepper, and half the lime juice.
Boil the potatoes for 15 minutes, drain, and slice thickly.
Chop the onion, garlic, tomatoes, and jalapeno pepper.
Soften the onion and garlic in olive oil for 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, olives, capers, and jalapeno pepper, and cook the sauce for 10 minutes.
Nestle the fish and potatoes into the sauce, cover, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes.
Serve Pescado a la Veracruzana with rice pilaf and lime wedges.
💡 Tip: Do not stir the fish too much in the sauce; fillets break easily, so spooning the sauce over them gives a cleaner result.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve Pescado a la Veracruzana as a seafood main with potatoes, rice pilaf, and lime wedges.
