Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lay the fish fillets out in a single layer on a shallow baking sheet. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 22 to 24 minutes, flipping the fillets halfway through so they get nice and crispy on both sides. Once done, transfer the fish to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any extra oil and let them cool for a few minutes.

Step 2

While the fish is cooling, tear up some lettuce and divide it between two bowls. Scatter the tomatoes over the greens, then arrange slices of avocado, cucumber, jicama, and onion around the tomatoes. Cut the fish into quarters and place the pieces on top of the salad.

Step 3

Drizzle your favorite dressing over everything, making sure to get some on the fish and veggies. Finally, sprinkle each salad with half of the cotija cheese and finish with a few fresh cilantro leaves for a burst of flavor. Enjoy!

Storage Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Keep the fish separate from the salad greens to prevent sogginess. Reheat the fish gently or enjoy it cold for best texture.
