Huachinango a la Veracruzana - Mexican Food

Fresh fish is a perfect summer time dinner since it's so light in texture it won't weigh you down. For example this delicious Huachinango a la Veracruzana cooks up tender and flaky, smothered with a delicious tomato sauce flavored with green olives, capers and oregano.

One of the keys to keeping the fish tender and flavorful is the simple marinade of seasoned lime juice. So crank up the oven for a moment to enjoy this taste of Veracruz.
