Grilled Halibut with Peach and Pepper Salsa
- I made this last week and the salsa really complements the fish. It is excellent to cook now since peaches are still in season. For all of us who are watching his or her cholesterol, it is an excellent heart healthy meal.

- 1 cup chopped red bell pepper (about 1 medium)

There isnt many kinds of fish that I like but I do like Halibut. Ima always of the prowl for recipes for fruity type salsa and this sounds like a good one that I would like . i like the taste of red peppers more because I dont get heartburn from them like I do with the green ones. Thanks for the great recipe
ReplyDeleteI have been on the look out for fish recipes as of lately. I started trying to serve more fish in my family's diet and introduce more fiber. Hesitant to try any sort of fish or meat with fruit though, but I'm willing to give it a shot. This looks and sounds delicious...thanks for sharing!! :)
