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.

We thought this was pretty good. It's easy to make. Changes I made: I used orange roughy instead of mahi mahi (as that was what the store had that day); I used fresh grapefruit but frozen peaches because I made this in March (when are both in season together, anyway?); I made the relish several days ahead of time and then I broiled the fish (instead of grilling) with about half the relish on it to infuse the flavor - this produced a nice roasted fruit effect. I served it with the extra cold relish on the side.03/16/06

This is very good. I made the salsa a couple of days ahead and it makes the flavor blend very well. The mahi2 was a little bit overcooked. Which is my doing, next time I will try it with halibut bc halibut seems meatier..
Served it over buttered rigatoni pasta, which was not a good choice, next time I would serve it over orzo ( I did not realize, I was out of orzo).02/11/05
