Recipe: Grilled Grouper with Fruit Salsa

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: one grouper filet with ~ 1 cup salsa)

·         2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted and diced

·         2 cups of red seedless grapes, halved

·         ½ cup red onion, chopped

·         1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

·         Juice from ½ a fresh lime

·         ½ a medium sized jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced

·         ¼  teaspoon salt

·         20 ounces of fresh grouper or a similar white-fleshed mild tasting fish

·         2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

·         ½ teaspoon salt

·         ½ teaspoon pepper

·         Fresh lemon wedges, for garnish

Directions

For the salsa: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mangoes, grapes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno pepper and salt and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until serving fish.

For the grouper: Preheat grill to high heat. Rinse grouper and pat dry. Pour a small amount of olive oil on both sides of the fillets and coat lightly. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper to taste. Grill grouper approximately 5 minutes per side until fish is no longer pink on the inside and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve grouper immediately, topped with salsa over each filet. Garnish with fresh lemon slices.
