10 10 20

Ingredients

2 medium mangoes, peeled and cubed (about 1-1/3 cups)
4 kiwifruit, peeled and cubed (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup diced sweet red pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons minced fresh mint or 3/4 teaspoon dried mint
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 halibut fillets (4 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon chili powder

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the mangoes, kiwi, red pepper, onion, jalapeno, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, lime juice, mint, honey and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
In a small bowl, combine oil and remaining lemon juice; drizzle over both sides of fish. Sprinkle with chili powder and remaining salt.
Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill fillets, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with salsa. Yield: 4 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
