If snapper is unavailable, grouper, redfish or halibut will work just as well in this healthy Mexican seafood dish.

Cooking Tip: Fresh fish is best cooked the day it is purchased. If you need to keep it overnight, rinse fish under cold water, pat dry, and wrap in wax paper. Seal fish in a zip-top plastic bag. Place the bag in a bowl of ice cubes and store in the refrigerator.
