Ingredients for Making the Tilapia
- 2 Tilapia fillets

Instructions
- Wash and dry tilapia fillets with paper towels; place on a clean board.

- Panfry for 5-6 minutes on each side or until thoroughly cooked or cooked to your desire.
- Wash all the fruits and vegetables, and cut accordingly or as you wish. Remove the seeds of jalapeno (I always do)!

Notes
- The salad recipe serves only two people. Serve as a side dish without the fish or use as salsa/dip as you please.
- Make this recipe vegan by using tofu instead of fish.
- Drizzle a little honey for sweetness if you wish; this is optional and only if you want it sweeter.
- Use ripe but firm fruits.
