Preheat
oven to 400 degrees. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over
medium-high heat. Add the celery, bell peppers, onion, and bay leaf.
Cook, stirring constantly, until the onions become soft and clear,
10-12 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the salt, crushed
red pepper, thyme, garlic, lemon zest, and orange zest. Cook for
1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the lemon juice, orange juice,
tomatoes, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to
low. Add the sweet basil and oregano and simmer, stirring occasionally,
for 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Season the fish filets lightly
and evenly with the seafood seasoning. Place the seasoned fish filets
in a shallow baking pan. Pour the tomato sauce over the fish filets
and bake at 400 degrees until done, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately
over Pesto Popcorn rice (see recipe).
"And
of course, you can add additional flavor to any Louisiana Seafood
recipe with a few shakes of TABASCO brand Pepper Sauce".
