PANFRIED HALIBUT WITH AVOCADO SALSA

SERVES 4

Incredibly quick to make, this is one of my favorite meals to enjoy after a day at the beach. The avocado salsa is so refreshing.

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE AVOCADO SALSA:

2 scallions, chopped

1 small jalapeño, minced

¼ cup/40 g cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup/10 g cilantro, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

¼ tsp sea salt

¼ tsp pepper

⅛ tsp cumin

3 tbsp/45 ml fresh lemon juice

2 avocados, peeled and chopped

2 tbsp/30 g butter

sea salt and pepper

4 halibut filets, 4 oz/115 g each

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium bowl, combine scallions, jalapeño, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin and lemon juice. Fold in avocados, taking care not to smash. Heat a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Add butter. Generously salt and pepper the halibut. Once the butter is warm, cook the halibut until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the fish is cooked through, opaque and flakes easily, about 3 minutes. Top with avocado salsa and serve.
