Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds Boneless and skinless firm-textured fish steaks or fillets, such as mahi mahi, shark or swordfish (about 3/4 inch thick)

1 cup Prepared tomoato-based salsa

1 cup (4 oz) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

1/2 cup Coarsely crushed corn chips

1 Small firm-ripe avacado

Sour cream (optional)

Lime wedges

Preparation

Rinse fish and pat dry; then place pieces side by side in an ungreased 8x12-inch baking dish. Pour salsa over fish. Sprinkle evenly with cheese, then with corn chips.


Bake, uncovered, in a 400 degree oven until fish is just slightly translucent or wet inside; cut in thickest part to test (12 to 15 minutes). Meanwhile, pit, peel, and slice avacado.


Garnish fish with avacado slices. Serve with sour cream, if desired; offer lime wedges to squeeze over fish to taste. Makes 4 servings.
