Ingredients

  • 1 lb white fish fillets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • ½ medium onion
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • ½ cup cotija cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the 1 lb fish fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add the fish to the skillet and cook until opaque and flaky, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and flake into chunks.

  3. 3

    While the fish cooks, dice the 2 tomatoes and 0.5 onion and chop the 0.25 cup cilantro. In a bowl, toss them with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.

  4. 4

    Divide the flaked fish among bowls. Top with the tomato-onion mixture and sprinkle with the 0.5 cup crumbled cotija cheese. Serve immediately.

  5. 5

    Optional: add a squeeze of lime or a dollop of sour cream if you have them.
