Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For salsa
8 plum tomatoes, seeded, diced (about 2 2/3 cups)
1 red onion, diced (about 1 cup)
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chilies*
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
For fish
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 6-ounce orange roughy fillets (each about 3/4 inch thick)
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 pound haricots verts or other slender green beans, trimmed
Fresh lemon juice
Additional olive oil

Steps:

For salsa:
Toss all ingredients in large bowl to combine. Cover and refrigerate. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Keep chilled.)
For fish:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Place flour in shallow baking dish. Coat fish with flour. Working in batches, sauté fish until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Using spatula, transfer fish to baking sheet. Bake fish until opaque in center, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook haricots verts in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Transfer to ice water to cool; drain. Season to taste with lemon juice and olive oil. Divide haricots verts equally among plates. Top with fish fillet and salsa.
*Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores and some supermarkets.
