Rock Cod Veracruzana
Traditionally made with red snapper (huachinango), which is now endangered, this dish is delicious with plentiful rock cod--aka Pacific snapper--instead. Serve with rice (start it before the fish).Wine Pairing: A lively Italian variety like Enotria 2012 Dolcetto (Mendocino County; $19). The wine's bright acidity and juicy red berry and plum fruit sync up with the tomatoes here, while the olives and capers pull out a touch of herbal brininess in the wine.
