   golden brown and flip to sear in the other side.
   Remove filets from pan and reserve on a rack over a
   plate to catch juices. Return the pan to the heat, add
   onions and cook, stirring often over high heat for 2-3
   minutes. Add the garlic, jalapeno slices, lime wedges,
   tomatoes, oregano and olives and saute briskly 30
   seconds more. Add white wine and reduce to half. Add
   fish stock and bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and
   return fish filets along with the juices to pan to
   finish cooking, covered, about 1-3 minutes depending
   upon the thickness of filets. Taste broth and adjust
   seasoning (salt/pepper/oregano), then serve
   immediately in soup plates with a generous puddle of
   broth and garnish of vegetables atop.
