Instructions:
Prepare the Pickled Cabbage:
In a small saucepan, combine water, apple cider vinegar, sliced jalapeno, sliced garlic, granulated sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Remove from heat and carefully pour over the shredded red cabbage.
Toss the cabbage with tongs and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
Transfer to glass storage jars and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes while preparing the mango salsa.
Make the Mango Salsa:
In a large mixing bowl, combine diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, diced jalapeno, lime juice, and salt to taste.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes or until ready to use.
Season and Cook the Fish:

Coat the fresh white fish thoroughly with the spice rub.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned fish for about 3 minutes on each side, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Transfer the cooked fish to a clean plate and break it into bite-sized chunks.
