Description
I make a double quantity of the salsa because it’s hard not to “taste” it while you wait for the fish to marinade. The colorful entrée is pretty enough to serve to company.

If You’re Grilling
- If grilling the fish, coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray before starting the grill.
- Drain and discard marinade from fish. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat.

Notes
If you can, I recommend Grilling, it adds that great flavor only a BBQ can provide.
