Fish In Green Sauce

I adapted this recipe using Mexican spices. Green beans are one of my favorite vegetables. In summer, green beans can be purchased at farmers market stands throughout my state. Costco has organic frozen green beans throughout the year. I like this recipe because it is easy and tastes good, which are high priorities in my blog. The studies show now that eating hot and spicy food is good for the body. Add more or less spicy as your taste bud can handle. This dish can be served with black beans and corn salsa* on the side (the salsa preparation ingredients and directions are at the bottom).

Ingredients:
2 white fish, such as tilapia or bass
1 cup green beans, cut into 2 inch lengths
Spice ingredients:
1 tsp total of allspice, ground cinnamon, and cumin
1 chipotle chili, chopped

1 cup chicken broth
1 tbs lime juice
1 tsp fish powder (Korean brand)
Other ingredients:
1/2 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tomato, diced
2 tbps fresh chopped oregano
Oil for stir frying

Directions:
Heat oil in a deep skillet. Add onions and garlic and cook on low heat for 5 minutes or until onions soften.

Add tomato, oregano and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Add green been, broth, and all spices. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes to combine flavor.

Cut fish fillets into big chunks and add to broth. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Divide fish and green beans on serving plate. Sprinkle with cilantro.

*Making black beans and corn salsa:
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked black beans
1 cup frozen corn
1 plum tomato or 1/2 large tomato, seedless, chopped
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbs chopped jalapeno pickle
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup Italian dressing
1 tbs lime juice
2 garlic cloves, minced (optional)

Directions:
If using frozen corn, bring a small pot of water to boil and blanch corn. Run through cold water and drain.
I always have cooked beans in my refrigerator, but canned beans will be good too.
In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use.
