Grilled Halibut with Peach and Pepper Salsa
Ingredients:
(Salsa)
2 1/2 cups coarsely chopped peeled yellow peaches (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 1/3 cups chopped red bell pepper (about 1 large)
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/2 cup chopped fresh arugula (we skipped this altogether...the package was about 10 times what we needed here, and we didn't have any other use for the rest of the arugula at the time)
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 habanero pepper, seeded and minced
1 garlic clove, minced
(Fish)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 (6-ounce) skinless halibut fillets
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray
Directions:
1. To prepare salsa, combine first 9 ingredients; toss gently. Let stand 30 minutes before serving.
2. Prepare grill to medium-high heat.
3. To prepare fish, combine 2 tablespoons juice, oil, paprika, and 2 garlic cloves in a large, shallow glass baking dish, stirring with a whisk. Add fish to juice mixture; turn to coat. Cover and let stand 15 minutes.
4. Remove fish from marinade; discard marinade. Sprinkle fish evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Place fish on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. (We discovered a grill pan worked better than putting the fish directly on the grill.) Serve fish with salsa.
This was naturally sweet and spicy; a delicious combination! And it's perfect for summer's peach bounty! Enjoy! Oh, and one more thing: be sure to use Pacific Halibut for this recipe. It is amazing and fished in ways that are eco-friendly.
Thankyou for your inspiring posts! I look at your blog nearly every day to see what new adventures you're sharing with God. I want to share one small thing with you that I hope will be of some help; I work in a kitchen supply store and we always recommend that you apply cooking spray onto paper towel then wipe it onto your pans, as the butane propellant in the spray will gradually eat into the smooth surface of your good cookware and shorten the life of your favourite equipment. I hope this little tip is of some use to you, its just one of those snippets that I know I've been grateful for and hopefully in 20 years time, my cookware will still be thanking me for it! Take care! Lorna (NZ)
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry if my note made you feel in any way uncomfortable. I found your blog by co-incidence when I googled 'living with God in your heart' and your site came up. I saw your post today asking unknown readers to 'forget' you and I want to assure you with all my heart that I will do just that. I have deleted your blog from my bookmarks and promise that my only interest was in your words about your relationship with God, which I found inspiring and always felt you have a gift for preaching with your heart. I never took notice of your personal information. I've never even read back through your posts, I never would. I'm so sorry and quite horrified that I made you feel intruded upon. Please forgive me and know that I will not read your blog again or mention it to anyone. God Bless you. Sincerely, Lorna.
ReplyDeleteHello Lorna -if you happen to stop by here- please know I meant no offense towards you in my post about this discovery of you as a reader. I was surprised that our blog was found, a bit secretly delighted that you were interested, and then also cautious about sharing with you and others. Please know, that your sincere interests are met with my sincere appreciation, and you are welcome to continue to visit my blog. What I meant about "forgetting" was just the bits of information, but not the message that you were seeking. I wish there was a way to relay this message to you personally, in a way that I could be sure you would receive. Perhaps you will stop by again to see if I've replied. If you do, feel free to keep checking in on us. God bless you, too, Brooke
