2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed

1 lemon, zested and juiced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried dill weed

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 pound tilapia, cut into bite-size cubes

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced

1 cup diced fresh tomato

½ cup sliced black olives

2 tablespoons chopped jarred jalapeno peppers

2 tablespoons capers

Directions

Mix olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper together in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir tilapia in the oil mixture until opaque, about 10 minutes. Transfer tilapia to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes. Reserve liquid in skillet.

Combine chilled tilapia, celery, avocado, tomato, olives, jalapeno peppers, and capers in a bowl. Drizzle reserved olive oil-lemon mixture over tilapia mixture; toss to coat. Allow salad to marinate in the refrigerator, at least 30 minutes.

Any white fish can be used; also very good with shrimp or bay scallops. Can also be served on brochette for an appetizer.
