Shall we take a moment to talk about how excited I am that it’s finally California Avocado season?!? YES! Omg and this chunky avocado salsa piled high on top of the spice roasted fish is like the perfect flavor bomb in your mouth.

This is on repeat in my house! The last time I made it with salmon since that’s what looked best at the fish counter. It was delicious!

This is one of my favorite recipes for halibut. It’s so delicious and simple. The avocado salsa rocks too!
Great recipe and comes together very quick and delicious! I added a few quartered cherry tomatoes to the avocados and served with sautéed green beans with garlic and lemon juice.
SO tasty, and could not have been easier to put together! Thank you!
Hi, any suggestions for what side dishes would go especially well with this dish? Thank you!

During these crazy quarantine times I am unable to get any halibut! So sad, but I am still going to make this recipe! I was thinking either flounder or cod? What are your thoughts?
Either would work!!
