Instructions
Preparing Fajita Fish with Avocado Salsa is a breeze when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Marinade the Fish: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the fish fillets, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Salsa: While the fish marinates, combine diced avocado, tomato, red onion, and jalapeño in a separate bowl. Add a pinch of salt and squeeze additional lime juice over the mixture. Gently toss to combine and set aside.
3. Cook the Fish: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated fish fillets. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Serve the Dish: Transfer the cooked fish to a serving platter or individual plates. Top with the avocado salsa and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
5. Garnish: Serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
