Salmon Or Halibut With Fruit Salsa - cooking recipe

Ingredients

14 -16 ounces salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick, fresh or frozen) or 14 -16 ounces halibut fillets (about 1 inch thick, fresh or frozen)
3/4 3/4 cup chopped peeled peaches or 3/4 cup nectarine
1/3 cup chopped peeled kiwi fruits or 1/3 cup fresh apricot
1 tablespoon snipped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon orange juice or 1 tablespoon apple juice
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped*
1 teaspoon olive oil or 1 teaspoon cooking oil
1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
nonstick cooking spray
fresh cilantro stem (optional)

Preparation

Thaw fish, if frozen.
Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels.
Cut into 4 serving-size pieces.
For fruit salsa, in a medium bowl, stir together strawberries, peaches, or nectarines; kiwifruit or apricots; the snipped cilantro; the orange juice or apple juice; and jalapeno chile pepper.
Set aside.
Brush both sides of each fish piece with oil.
Sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning.
Coat the unheated rack of a broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Place fish on rack.
Broil 4 inches from heat for 8 to 12 minutes or just until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once halfway through broiling.
Serve with the fruit salsa.
If desired, garnish with cilantro sprigs. Makes 4 servings.
*Note: Because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.
Grill Method: Coat the unheated rack of an uncovered grill with nonstick cooking spray. Place fish on rack directly over medium coals. Grill for 8 to 12 minutes or just until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once halfway through grilling.
