Instructions
  1. Peel and cut in onion in half. Slice each half to form half rounds. Mince the garlic. Heat butter or oil over medium-low heat in a large skillet, then add onion slices. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, until very soft and sweet-smelling.
  2. While the onions cook, chop the tomatoes. Add tomatoes, garlic, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Cook and stir about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Cut fish (if needed) into 2, 3 or 4 pieces, using a cutting board dedicated to raw meats/fish. Place fish in the tomato mixture, spooning some of the mixture over the fish. Sprinkle a little more salt and pepper on top. Cover and simmer on low for 7-9 minutes, until fish is opaque and comes apart with a fork. (The cooking time depends on the thickness of the fish. If using thin fish fillets, cook only 2-3 minutes.)
  4. While fish cooks, chop the cilantro.
  5. When done, squeeze the juice of half the lime over the fish. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Sprinkle cilantro on top and serve with a wedge or slice of lime (from the remaining half).
