Ingredients

• 1 pound halibut fillet, cut into two or four portions
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, washed and cut in half lengthwise
• 1 jalapeño, sliced
• 1 lemon, cut in thin wedges
• 1 Tbsp capers
• 1 Tbsp sliced dry garlic
• 1 Tbsp hawayej
• Olive oil
• Salt

Directions

1. Heat some olive oil in a pan big enough to fit the fish. Add the sliced garlic and cook for about 1 minute on low heat. Add the cut tomatoes, jalapeño, lemon wedges, capers, and a third of the hawayej spice. Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
2. Season the fish with the remaining hawayej and salt on both sides.
3. Place the fish pieces in the sauce, cover and cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat till fully cooked (but not over cooked).
4. The sauce is also great with any leftover cooked vegetables. I had some roasted eggplant this time so added it in. Enjoy!
