Worthy of a Special Occasion

Onions, peaches, mint, and grapefruit make a cooling, citrusy sweet relish that pairs well with the delicate fish.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and about 2/3 cup peach relish)

Ingredients

  • 1/3  cup  rice vinegar
  • 2  tablespoons  brown sugar
  • 1/2  cup  finely chopped red onion
  • 2 1/2  cups  diced peeled ripe peaches (about 1 1/2 pounds)
  • 1 1/2  cups  pink grapefruit sections (about 2 large grapefruit)
  • 1/2  cup  small mint leaves
  • 3/4  teaspoon  salt, divided
  • 1/2  teaspoon  black pepper, divided
  • 6  (6-ounce) mahimahi or other firm whitefish fillets (about 3/4 inch thick)
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

Prepare grill.

Place vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Place onion in a large bowl. Pour vinegar mixture over onion, tossing to coat; cool. Add peaches, grapefruit, mint, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to onion; toss gently.
