Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pollock fillets
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 small Red onion
• 1 small Jalapeño pepper
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 large Lime
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the salsa: Dice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into small, uniform pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Finely chop the red onion and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat) and add them to the bowl with the bell peppers.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture.

Step 4

Finely chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl as well.

Step 5

Zest and juice the lime, then add both the zest and the juice to the vegetable mixture.

Step 6

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the mixture, then season with 0.25 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Season the pollock fillets: Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel, then season them evenly with 0.25 teaspoons of salt, 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper, and 0.25 teaspoons of ground cumin.

Step 8

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Once the oil is hot, add the pollock fillets to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fillets are golden brown on the outside and opaque in the center.

Step 10

Remove the fillets from the skillet and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

To serve, place a pollock fillet on each plate and top generously with the three pepper salsa. Serve immediately.
