- In a blender combine the avocado, garlic, remaining jalapeno, 0.5 tablespoon of the cilantro, 0.25 teaspoon salt, the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice, canola oil, and water. Pulse the mixture until smooth. Taste for seasoning and add more lime juice or salt, if you like. Transfer to a serving bowl.
- In another serving bowl, sprinkle the tomatoes with a pinch of salt and of sugar.
- Place the pineapple in a serving bowl, the onion in another, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cilantro in a third. Set aside.
- Drain the fish in a colander.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it is hot, cook the fish, stirring often, for 4 minutes or until it turns opaque. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fish to a serving bowl; keep warm.
