Red Snapper Veracruz

4 red snapper fillets (1-1/2 - 2 pounds total)
Juice of two limes
1 teaspoon oregano
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium white onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, diced

1/2 cup sliced green olives
3 pickled jalapeños, diced
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Lime wedges, for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 375º.
2. Place fillets in a baking pan. In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste; pour over fish.
