How to Make Baked Fish With Avocado And Tomato

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
  3. Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

  7. In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomato and avocado with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Gently toss to combine.
  9. Serve the baked fish immediately, topped with the avocado-tomato salsa.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
