Ingredients

2 mahi mahi fillets
sea salt
pepper
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 red onion
2 tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp ají amarillo or sambal oelek
1/4 cup fish broth or any other broth
1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Take fish out of the fridge about 20 minutes befor it hits the pan so it isn't too cold. Season with sea salt and pepper on both sides, then cover with flour all over and set aside.
Cut onion into thick stripes. Half tomatoes, deseed, and cut into equally thick stipes. Crush garlic.
Preheat a pan over medium heat and once hot add a generous amount of avocado oil.
Add the floured fish to the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side depending on the thickness, until it's golden brown. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
Add onions to the leftover oil and stir-fry until starting to soften. At this point add ají amarillo and crushed garlic and sauté for another minute or so.
Add tomatoes and fish broth and stir for 1 minute, then add vinegar, give one last stir and serve onion tomato mix over mahi mahi.
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and enjoy.
