Main Ingredients

1 1/8 lb (500 grams) Fresh white fish (e.g., cod or halibut)

0.42 cup (100 ml) ReaLime juice

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves Garlic, minced

1 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped

1 medium Red onion, finely chopped

1 medium Chili pepper, diced

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For Serving

7.05 oz (200 grams) Tortilla chips

1 medium Avocado, sliced

2 pieces Lime wedges

Method

Preparation of Fish

Marinate the Fish

In a bowl, combine the fresh white fish with lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the fish evenly. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Salsa

While the fish is marinating, prepare the salsa. In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped cilantro, finely chopped red onion, and diced chili pepper. Set aside.

Cooking and Assembly

Cook the Fish

After marinating, heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated fish pieces and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Combine and Serve

Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the heat and flake it into bite-sized pieces. Gently fold the fish into the prepared salsa. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, avocado slices, and lime wedges on the side.
