Pan-seared cod in salsa with queso fresco

Instructions

Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, and salt over both sides of the fish fillets.

Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat.

When the oil is hot, add the fish and sear for 1.5 minutes on each side.

Reduce heat to low and pour the prepared salsa around the filets.

Simmer the fish in the salsa for 3-4 minutes. Plate the fish, and pour the salsa evenly over the fish.

Serve with sour cream, avocado, and crumbled queso fresco. Garnish with a wedge of lime and chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
