15 Minute Halibut with Avocado Salsa

This dish from the World's Healthiest Foods' site is super easy and delicious. Since it's just the two of us we buy fish for two, but make the whole salsa recipe because it's so yummy. My experience has been that you have to cook the fish a bit longer than the recipe suggests.

4 6oz halibut steaks or filets
¼ cup minced scallion
1-2 tsp finely minced jalapeno
6 medium cloves garlic, pressed
1 + ¼ cup TBS fresh lemon juice
3 TBS chopped fresh cilantro
8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 medium ripe but firm avocado diced in ¼ inch cubes
salt and black pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients except halibut and 1 TBS lemon juice and set aside.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium high heat for about 2-3 minutes.
Rub halibut with 1TBS lemon juice and season with a little salt and black pepper. Place in hot pan. Cook for about 3 minutes and turn. Cook for another 3 minutes and remove from pan.
Place on plate, and top with salsa.

I can vouch for this recipe. We loved it (although our house still smells like fish).
