Method: 

To make relish, combine corn, tomatoes, avocado, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and salt and refrigerate until ready to serve. 

To make seasoning, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and transfer to plate. Lightly oil both sides of fillets and press seasoning mix onto both sides.  

Lightly oil in a medium sized frying pan on high heat. Test oil for readiness by dropping a little seasoning in the pan. If it begins to sizzle immediately, it is ready. Place a few filets slowly into the oil and fry on both sides until fish is tender and flaky, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with relish and lime wedges.
