A vibrant dish on a white, ceramic plate: glossy chunks of 'cooked' white fish brightly speckled with small cuts of red tomatoes and green jalapenos. Coriander leaves are sprinkled for a fresh greenness against the white, and red onions lend a beautiful purple pop of color. A spoonful of creamy guacamole and a side of crispy corn chips add a textural contrast.
