The tropical relish in this recipe is more to my kind than a pure fruit
topping because the sweetness of the mango is offset by the robust
tartness of the capers, lemon juice, and salsa, and the basil provides an
unexpected, spicy note.
4 fish fillets, such as cod or halibut, about 6 ounces each
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 sweet onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 bunch fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon salsa
1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and finely chopped
Rinse the fish fillets under cold running water and pat them dry. brush
them with the olive oil and season them with salt and pepper.
Preheat grill or broiler.
meanwhile, prepare the relish: Stir together the mango, onions,
peppers, basil, capers, lemon juice, and salsa in a bowl. Grill the fish on
high heat or broil, about 2-3 minutes per side or until desired
doneness. Spoon the relish over the grilled or broiled fish.
