- 1 1/2 pounds sole filets

Instructions
Salsa Fresca:
- Peel the Cara Cara oranges, and separate the sections. Cut into chunks in a bowl to collect any juice that results.

- Add both to a large bowl, along with the red onion and cilantro.
- Squeeze the lime juice on top, along with the cilantro.
- Add the jalapenos and toss the salsa together. Refrigerate until the fish is ready.
- You can also make it up to three days ahead.
Fish:
- Sprinkle the fish filets on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Add the oil to a large skillet over a medium-high setting.
- Add the fish in a single layer when the oil is hot. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, then flip to the other side. Fish should be opaque.
- If you need to do two batches, keep the filets warm in a baking dish in the oven as you cook them all.
- Serve topped with a generous dollop of salsa fresca.
