Low
  • Wash the huachinango, coat it with lemon, oil, garlic, and onion. Place it in a hot oven for 20 minutes to poach and then remove it.
  • Peel the tomatoes, remove the seeds, and chop them. Slice the onion and, if desired, the bell pepper. Sauté them in olive oil and let cook for 5 minutes. Add the cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, olives, and capers. Let cook. Season with salt and pepper, and if necessary, add a pinch of baking soda.
  • Add the juice released by the fish, adjust the seasoning, and add a bit of bread crumbs to thicken it a little and absorb the juices.
  • Pour the sauce over the fish, and just before serving, put it in the oven for 20 minutes. Garnish with long chiles, and if a little spicy is desired, add a bit of the chile juice to the sauce.
