Ingredients
  • 1 jar Molli Veracruz cooking sauce
  • 4 fillets firm-flesh fish (snapper, maji-maji, cod, grouper) You can use Tilapia or catfish but both tend to get mushy faster

Instructions
  1. Rinse fish fillets, pat dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  2. Melt butter in a large skillet, add the fillets and brown on both sides (1-2 minutes).
