Baked Haitian Fish Recipe

  • 6 flounder fillets
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 orange bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place flounder fillets in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix lime juice, parsley, and salt together in a small bowl. Pour over fillets.
  3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, onion, red bell pepper, orange bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, and garlic; cook and stir until tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, orange juice, jerk seasoning, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
  4. Spread 3/4 of the onion mixture over the fillets in the baking dish.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until fillets flake easily with a fork, 10 to 13 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve remaining onion mixture alongside fillets.
