Grilled Halibut and Tomato-Avocado Salsa

Grilled Halibut

1 1/2 pounds halibut, tuna or swordfish steaks, 3/4 to 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons canola or soybean oil
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Tomato-Avocado Salsa
3 medium tomatoes, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1 medium avocado, pitted, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 small jalapeño chili, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons lemon or lime juice

Directions:
1. If fish steaks are large, cut into 6 serving pieces. Mix remaining ingredients except Tomato-Avocado Salsa in shallow glass or plastic dish. Add fish; turn to coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes but no longer than 2 hours.

2. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix all tomato-avocado salsa ingredients together. Set aside until ready to serve.

3. Heat coals or gas grill for diirect heat. Remove fish from marinade; reserve marinade. Cover and grill fish 4 to 5 inches from medium heat 10 to 15 minutes, brushing 2 or 3 times with marinade and turning once, until fish flakes easily with fork. Discard any remaining marinade. Serve fish with salsa.

 You may have heard of the Mediterranean “diet,” which includes a high consumption of fish, fruits, raw and cooked vegetables, the use of olive oil and wine in low to moderate amounts. A major study in Italy confirmed that eating a diet rich in these foods lowers the risk of heart disease.
