Ingredients

• 4 pieces firm white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or tilapia)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups ripe tomatoes, diced
• 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 piece jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 piece avocado, ripe
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 piece garlic clove, minced
• 2 teaspoons extra lime juice (for avocado sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

Step 2

Rub the fish fillets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then season evenly on both sides with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside to marinate while making the salsa and sauce.

Step 3

To prepare the salsa, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, jalapeño (if using), and 2 tablespoons of lime juice in a medium mixing bowl. Toss to mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Step 4

To make the avocado sauce, scoop the flesh of the avocado into a blender or food processor. Add Greek yogurt, water, minced garlic, 2 teaspoons of lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed and set aside.

Step 5

Place the fish fillets on the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Remove the fish from the grill and allow it to rest for 2 minutes.

Step 7

To serve, place grilled fish on a plate, top with fresh salsa, and drizzle with the avocado sauce. Optionally, garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges.
