2. To prepare salsa, add all ingredients to a bowl and stir to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

3. Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat until hot. Add ono and sear 2-3 minutes on each side. Ono will be medium rare. If you like your fish cooked more than that, place in oven heated to 350F until desired doneness. To serve, spoon salsa over top of fish.
