cup
chopped tomatoes
2
tbsp
finely diced red onion

Instructions
Add the avocado, tomato, green onion, red onion, one tablespoon of lemon juice, one tablespoon of olive oil, and 1/4 cup of cilantro to a bowl.
Stir to combine and taste. Add salt and pepper to your liking.
Set the salsa aside while you prepare the fish.
To prepare the fish, pat dry with paper towels and sprinkle both sides with a little salt and pepper.
Place a nonstick pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
When the pan is hot, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and carefully lay a fish in the pan.
Cook for two minutes on each side, remove from the pan, and allow it to rest for five minutes.
To serve, place the fish on a plate, and spoon the salsa over it.
Finish with a squeeze of lemon and a little more chopped cilantro and green onions.
