Mahi Mahi with Zesty Peach Salsa

This recipe originally called for Halibut, but we tried it with Mahi Mahi. It was delicious! It was light and refreshing! It would make a great lunch or possibly even grilling it for a cookout! The peach salsa had such flavor it was a perfect compliment to the light fish!




Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons grated lime peel
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 (6 ounce) Mahi Mahi filets (de-skinned)

SALSA:

• 2 cups chopped fresh or frozen peaches
• 1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped*
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
• 2 teaspoons lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. In a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; mix well. Remove 1/4 cup for basting; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the halibut. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 2 hours. In a bowl, combine salsa ingredients; cover and refrigerate until serving.
2. If grilling the fish, coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray before starting the grill. Drain and discard marinade from fish. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Serve with peach salsa.
