Ingredients

4 medium plum tomatoes (seeded and diced)

1 medium avocado (peeled, pitted and diced)

1 jalapeno pepper (or serrano pepper, seeded if desired, finely chopped)

1/2 small red onion (diced, approximately 1/2 cup)

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 small bunch cilantro (chopped, approximately 1/2 cup)

2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (divided)

2 medium limes (divided, see note below)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

4 (4 to 6-ounce) tilapia fillets

1 teaspoon chili powder

Directions

Combine tomatoes, avocado, jalapeno or serrano, red onion, garlic, cilantro, 2 teaspoons olive oil, the juice of 1 lime and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste in a bowl. Set aside.

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Cut the other lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half over both sides of the tilapia fillets. Cut the remaining half of the second lime into quarters to serve with the fish.

Drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil over the tilapia fillets.

Season the tilapia fillets with salt and black pepper. Rub both sides of the fillets with the chili powder.

Place the tilapia fillets on the hot grill or grill pan and grill 3-4 minutes per side (depending upon thickness).

Plate the fish, top with salsa and serve with lime quarters.
