Don't use Frozen Strawberries
The lime zest and Cheyanne powder rub on the fish was very tasty, but since fresh strawberries were out of season, we used the frozen... and it was a watery disgusting mess. I ate my fish with out the garnish and it was very good and when strawberries are back in season, I will try it again with that part of the recipe.

Surprisingly Delicious
I decided to make this spontaneously. I had everything on hand already except for the halibut or sea bass. Instead I used Tilapia. The dish was still delicious and the poblano chiles were surprisingly wonderful with the strawberries.

Fresh and Summery
This was delicious! I was just cooking for 2, so I used a 1/2 lb of fresh halibut, but still used the 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp cayenne to season (we like spicy!). I also added a bit of chopped up avocado (1/4 of an avocado) to the relish because we had it on hand. It was a very fresh and summery dish! With a side of grilled zucchini, it was very filling. We will definitely make this again.
