2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 3-4 minutes. Coat fish with seasoning (wash hands). Place 1 tablespoon oil in pan, then add fish; cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish is 145°F (or opaque and separates easily).
3. Combine in microwave-safe dish: beans, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, salt, and pepper; microwave on HIGH 1-2 minutes or until hot. Place beans on serving plates; top with fish and tomato mixture. Serve.

1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/3 cup honey

Aprons Advice
– Complete your meal with rice, Cuban bread, and Key lime pie for dessert.
– To get a nice crust on the fish in our recipe it is really important to have the pan very hot before adding the fish. And you can’t skimp on the amount of seasoning!
