Accompaniment:

On large plate, season fish fillets with Adobo and lime juice. Set in refrigerator.
Step 2
Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in jalapeños and garlic; cook for about 2 minutes more. Add tomato strips, tomato paste, clam broth, wine and oregano to skillet; increase heat to high. Bring wine mixture to boil, stirring often until tomato paste dissolves; reduce heat to medium low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Stir in capers and olives.
