ALASKA HALIBUT with TANGY FRUIT SALSA

Prep Time: 15 minutes   Cook Time: 15 minutes   Servings: 4

Tangy Fruit Salsa:
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 Tablespoons honey
1 can (11 oz.) mandarin oranges, drained and coarsely chopped
1 can (8 oz.) pineapple tidbits, drained
1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
1 Tablespoon fresh chives, chopped or 1/2 Tablespoon dried chives
2 teaspoons lemon peel or 1/2 teaspoon dried lemon peel
4 Alaska Halibut steaks or fillets (4 to 6 oz. each), fresh, thawed or frozen
2 Tablespoons olive, canola, peanut or grapeseed oil
1/2 Teaspoon seasoning salt

Prepare salsa: Combine lemon juice and honey in medium mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients and toss together gently. Mixture can be made several hours ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.

Prepare halibut: Preheat broiler/oven or grill to medium-high heat.

Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Halibut under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Brush both sides of halibut with oil. Place on a spray-coated broiling pan or well-oiled grill, 5 to 6 inches from heat. Cook 9 minutes for frozen halibut OR 5 minutes for fresh/thawed fish.

Turn halibut over and sprinkle with seasoning salt. Cook an additional 5 to 6 minutes. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.

Remove halibut to individual serving plates and top with spoonfuls of salsa.
