Spice up your fish!

1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
3 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons diced jalapeno peppers
2 tablespoons hot chili powder
2 tablespoons mild chili powder
2 teaspoons or less salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound black cod, halibut, red snapper, monkfish, sole or perch

In a bowl, combine orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, rice vinegar, garlic, jalapeno peppers, chili powders, salt and black pepper.  Let sauce stand at room temperature 3 hours.

Arrange each fillet on a sheet of aluminum foil.  Bring edges of foil upwards to form a bowl.  Spoon 2 tablespoons of sauce over each fillet.  Pinch top edges of foil together to seal (leave a small amount of space for steam between top of fish and top of foil.)

Arrange foil packets in a baking dish.  Steam at 450 degrees F 8 - 10 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.  Heat remaining sauce.  Serve with fish.

Serves 4.
