Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 Min.
Cook Time: 15 Min.

* 4 Alaska Halibut steaks or fillets (4 to 6-oz. each), fresh, thawed or frozen
* 2 Tbsp. olive, canola, peanut or grapeseed oil
* 1/2 tsp. seasoning salt

Tangy Fruit Salsa:
* 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
* 1 Tbsp. honey
* 1 (11 oz.) can mandarin oranges, drained and coarsely chopped
* 1 (8 oz.) can pineapple chunks, drained
* 1/4 c. red bell pepper, finely diced
* 1 Tbsp. fresh chives, chopped or 1/2 Tbsp. dried chives
* 2 tsp. lemon peel and chopped cilantro
* 1/4-1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
* 1/4 tsp. salt

1. 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.
2. Prepare Alaska Halibut: Preheat broiler/oven or grill to medium-high heat (450ºF).
3. 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 in. from heat, and cook about 5 min. Turn halibut over and sprinkle with seasoning salt. Cook an additional 7 to 10 min. for frozen fillets or 4 to 6 min. for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.
4. Remove halibut to individual serving plates and top with spoonfuls of salsa.
