Veracruz-Style Red Snapper
I like red snapper for this, but any white, flaky fish will work. By the way, many Veracruz-style fish recipes call for pickled jalapeños, but I think there's plenty of acidity in this from the lime and tomatoes, so I like the fresh pepper a little more.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Stir in onion; cook and stir until onions begin to turn translucent, 6 to 7 minutes.
Cook and stir in garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add capers and caper juice; stir to combine.
Stir in tomatoes, olives, jalapeño pepper, . Cook and stir until jalapeño pepper softens and tomatoes begin to collapse, about 3 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in oregano.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil into a small baking dish.
Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of the tomato-olive mixture.
Top with 1 snapper fillet, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Top with more filling and juice from 1 lime.
Repeat with remaining snapper fillet, seasoning, and lime juice in a second baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until fish is flaky and no longer translucent, 15 to 20 minutes.
