Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 sweet onion, like Vidalia, cut in thin slices
1 red, orange or yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1 jalapeno, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup vegetable juice, such as V8 (low sodium is best, I used spicy V8)
Finely grated zest and freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon (1 tsp. zest and 2 Tbsp. juice)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 pound skinless cod fillets (or other firm white fish, I used halibut), cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks
2 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish (I used cilantro instead)

Directions:
Heat the oil in a 10 to 12 inch saute pan over med-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, salt and pepper, stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are soft but not brown.
Add the wine; increase the heat to med-high and cook for 2 minutes, then add the vegetable juice, lemon zest and sugar. Once the mixture comes to a full boil, immediately reduce the heat to med-low and cook for 5 minutes. Adjust the heat to maintain a low boil.
Add the fish; cover and cook for 10 minutes, maintaining a low boil.
Add the lemon juice and parsley or cilantro. Serve immediately.

this looks great and i agree that curry would probably be a great addition! anne
Yum! This looks good!
So glad you liked this. Your additions sound wonderful. I will have to try different spices. I added extra lemon juice and used a lemony vegtable juice that I got at Trader Joes and it was delicious.
