Huachinango A La Veracruzana (Baked Red Snapper Veracruz) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 lbs red snapper fillets
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons lime juice
    Sauce
    1 medium onion
    1 garlic clove, minced
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    2 lbs fresh tomatoes, peeled, seede and chopped
    2 chili jalapeno peppers, seeded and cut into strips
    12 pitted green olives, cut in half
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
    2 tablespoons large capers
    1 large bay leaf
Preparation
    Place fillets in a single layer, in a greased 9x13\" baking dish.
    Prick fillets with a fork and sprinkle with salt and lime juice.
    Set aside to season, for several hours in refrigerator.
    Drain.
    Pour sauce over fillets.
    For sauce:
    Saute onion and garlic in hot oil until tender.
    Add remaining sauce ingredients.
    Cook over medium high heat 5-10 minutes until sauce is well seasoned and some of the liquid has evaporated.
    After step #9 you would then bake for awhile, correct? Like at 350 for 20-30 min?
