These red snapper fillets are grilled up in packets with a flavorful salsa mixture. You can choose a mild, medium, or spicy salsa for this dish depending on your taste.

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound red snapper fillet
2 cups green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 1/2 cup salsa
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup pitted black olives
1/3 cup dry red wine
3 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
lemon wedges

PREPARATION:
Sauté green pepper, onion and garlic in olive oil until tender. Add salsa, wine, lemon juice, oregano, cumin. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Preheat grill.
Take four 12 inch pieces of aluminum foil. Place 1/4 of the snapper on each piece. Top with 1/4 of the sauce. Fold up aluminum foil to form packets. Place fish packets on grill and cook indirectly for about 30 minutes. Check for doneness and serve with lemon wedges.
