Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion; cook and stir until onions begin to turn translucent, 6 to 7 minutes.
Cook and stir in garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add capers and caper juice; stir to combine.
Stir in tomatoes, olives, jalapeno pepper, . Cook and stir until jalapeno pepper softens and tomatoes begin to collapse, about 3 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in oregano.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil into a small baking dish.
Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of the tomato-olive mixture. Top with 1 snapper fillet, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Top with more filling and juice from 1 lime. Repeat with remaining snapper fillet, seasoning, and lime juice in a second baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until fish is flaky and no longer translucent, 15 to 20 minutes.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner
Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, and Gruener Veltliner are my top picks for Red Snapper. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Calista Coast Range Pinot Noir with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 25 dollars per bottle.

Calista Coast Range Pinot Noir
The 2012 Calista Coast Range Pinot Noir is deep ruby red in color with aromatics of dried cherries, rose petal, violet and roasted coffee bean. Rhubarb, cherry and notes of cranberry flow through the palate to a balanced and lengthy finish of mixed dark fruit and black tea.
