Tips To Improve This Recipe
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes and peppers for the best flavor and color.
- Gently sauté the ingredients to keep the vegetables slightly crisp and full of flavor.
Step 1
Boil the saltfish in a large pot of water to get rid of some of the salt. Drain the water and repeat this a couple of times until the fish isn’t too salty. Once that’s done, drain the fish well, flake it into small pieces, and squeeze out any excess liquid.
Step 2
Heat some oil in a large skillet and sauté the onions, tomatoes, and peppers for a couple of minutes until they’re soft and fragrant. Add the flaked saltfish, a splash of lemon juice, and some hot pepper to taste. Keep the heat low and let everything cook together until most of the moisture has evaporated, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Finally, scoop the mixture into the center of a serving dish. Arrange fresh lettuce leaves and slices of creamy avocado around the edges for a beautiful and tasty presentation. Enjoy!
