Ingredients:

For the Fish:

  • 4 fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or salmon)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

For the Tomato Salsa:

  • 2-3 medium ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or other fresh herbs like basil or cilantro)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (or lemon juice)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salsa:

* In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, minced garlic, and chopped herbs. * Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar (or lemon juice), then season with salt and pepper. * Toss everything together until well mixed. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

2. Prepare the Fish:

* Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). * Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Cook the Fish:

* Once the oil is hot, carefully add the fish fillets to the skillet. * Cook for about 3-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.

4. Serve:

* Plate the cooked fish fillets and top generously with the tomato salsa. * Sprinkle with additional fresh herbs for garnish.
