Preparation

Season the fillets with salt and pepper, and dredge in flour. Shake off any excess.

Heat the 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan and add the onions, peppers and the garlic. Cook until fragrant, then add the tomatoes and the capers and heat through. Add the lime juice and cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.
