01
Bake and Crisp Fish
Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lay the fish fillets out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 22 to 24 minutes, flipping them halfway through so they get nice and crispy on both sides. Once they’re done, transfer the fish to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any extra oil. Let them rest for about 5 minutes while you get the rest ready.
02
Assemble the Salad
Next, tear up some lettuce and divide it between two bowls. Scatter the tomatoes on top, then arrange slices of avocado, cucumber, jicama, and onion around the tomatoes. Cut the fish into quarters and place the pieces over the salad. Drizzle your favorite dressing over everything, making sure the fish and veggies get a nice coating.
03
Add Cheese and Cilantro
Finally, sprinkle the cotija cheese evenly over each bowl and finish with a few fresh cilantro leaves for a burst of flavor. Enjoy!

How to serve
Serve with a wedge of lime on the side for a fresh burst of acidity. Add a dollop of sour cream or guacamole for creaminess. A side of black beans or corn salsa pairs well and rounds out the meal.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Keep the fish separate from the salad greens to avoid sogginess. Reheat the fish gently to maintain its texture before assembling the bowl again.
