Creole Red Snapper (Chillo Criollo)
You can make the tomato mixture just before baking but the flavor will be absolutely amazing if you let the mixture marinate overnight.
If you like more garlic, add it, the same with the onion and cilantro. This sounds like a lot of olive oil, and it is, but it mixes with the juices from the tomato and makes the most delicious sauce--perfect for dunking pieces of warm and crusty bread.
You can use any type of tomato you like from Cherry Tomato to Beefsteak Tomato....whatever your preference is!
You can even use any kind of fish you prefer, Red Snapper just happens to be the fish of choice in Puerto Rico for this recipe.
I just prefer my fish as a fillet, I like to fiddle with as little bones as possible while I'm eating.
