Ingredients
- 2 cups Seedless watermelon diced
- 1 Fresh Ripe Avocado pitted, seeded & cubed
- 1/2 Red Onion finely chopped
- 1 lime Juice & Zest
- 1/2 Lemon Juice
- 1 Jalapeno Pepper stemmed & diced
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon plus pinch Sea Salt divided
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil divided
- 1 Tablespoon Dr. Hyman’s Special Seasoning (see below)
- 1 Pound White flaky fish Cod or Halibut
- 16 Romaine or Butter Leaves
Method
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the watermelon, avocado, onion, lime juice, zest, lemon juice, jalapeno and cilantro. Toss with the 1 tablespoon olive oil and ¼ teaspoon salt and set aside.
Step 2
Prepare a pan or grill to cook the fish. If using the grill, preheat to high and coat the fish on both sides with the remaining oil. If using a pan, heat the remaining oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Sprinkle the fish with Dr. Hyman’s Special Seasoning and remaining salt. Cook the fish until opaque inside, about 5 minutes per side. When the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees, remove from heat and set aside to cool for about 5 minutes or until no longer hot, but still warm to the touch. Using a fork, break into big pieces.
Step 4
To serve, place two lettuce leaves on top of each other to make a sturdy base for the fish. Place about ¼ cup of fish on each lettuce wrap, top with a couple tablespoons salsa.
Step 5
