I got some PM's for the recipe, so rather than PM'ing everyone, I'll just post it here.
Feeds two:
Salsa - basic salsa recipe. Mix in a bowl chopped tomatos, avocado, mango, onions, garlic, bell pepper, tiny bit of hot pepper (any kind will do - jalopeno, etc), cilantro, parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Add olive oil, vinegar, & juice from a lemon or lime. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge while you make the fish and pasta.
Make the pasta as per directions on box. I use 1/2 pound of linguine for two people. Important to start the pasta when you're completely done with the salsa.
Fish - 6 pieces - 3" long fillets. Season with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings that turn you on. Leave on the side. Heat up a large pan w/olive oil (big enough to toss the pasta in later) under medium heat and add: chopped garlic, onions and saute until soft. Place fish fillets on the pan for a few minutes until you see the juices starting to come out. Flip fish once and cook for another 30 secs. Take fish out and put into the broiler (use seperate broiling pan - I top off the fillets with a little butter for taste and juice protection) for a min or two or until you see the top of fish starting to brown. DO NOT OVERCOOK.
While waiting for the fish, finish the pasta by adding a little white wine and let it simmer while the alcohol evaporates. When it's done, toss in the pasta and just toss the whole thing under medium heat. (If you find you've made the pasta too early, then "shock" the pasta with running cold water until you're ready to toss it. The cold water will slow down/stop the cooking so you don't have linguine mush).
By now you should have the fish done, pasta tossed and salsa in the fridge.
Plating: A good portion of salsa (you can impress your wife/gf and get brownie points for the next fishing trip if you make the presentation with any kind of bowl filled with the salsa and turning it upside down on the plate. Take three fillets and place on top of salsa. Finish off with some garnish and some sauce if you want. (The green sauce is an arugula pesto of sorts I tried - only got a 4 out of 10 from the wife - lol). I paired it with a white wine that I used for cooking.
Good luck and bon appetite!
