Tilapia with Salsa: The pineapple and red onion with the creamy avocado is just so delicious in this salsa and the perfect topping for Tilapia.

I recently started including at least one seafood dish a week into our menu. I like to keep all my meals quick and easy and this was just perfect for that.
What's great about this recipe is that you can use any type of fish you'd like. If you're not much of a seafood eater, then this salsa is perfectly paired with chicken or steak as well.
Tilapia with Salsa reminds me a little of tropical weather! I'll just close my eyes and pretend I'm eating this poolside at some fancy Caribbean resort... maybe I'll even have a pineapple cocktail with dinner!
