Cooking and Serving Tips
To check if your avocado is ripe, look to make sure it has black skin without any indentations. It should yield to firm yet gentle pressure. You can also check the color beneath the stem, which should be a pale green. If it’s a pale yellow or brown, it needs a few more days to ripen. If it’s dark brown, it’s overripe.

To round out this meal, serve with a side of brown rice or another whole grain, like farro or quinoa, tossed with fresh herbs. This is also delicious with steamed or roasted sweet potatoes. I especially enjoy sweet potatoes flavored with chili powder. The sweet and spicy combination is quite appealing.

To keep things simple, serve this with a side of roasted vegetables. Since most vegetables roast at 400 degrees, you can put a roasting sheet of chopped vegetables tossed with olive oil in the oven on the rack beneath the fish to cook.
