How to Make It

Step 1

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; coat pan with cooking spray. Add tomato mixture; sauté 2 minutes. Remove from pan.

Coat pan and fillets with cooking spray; add fish to the pan. Cook 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn fillets over; add tomato mixture to the pan, spooning mixture over and around fillets. Cover and cook 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.

While fish cooks, combine 2 tablespoons water, hot sauce, thyme, and salt in a small bowl.
