Grilled Halibut with Citrus Salsa

Grilled Halibut with Citrus Salsa ~ if there were ever a dish that had my name written all over it, it’s this one. I could eat this every day for the rest of my life  ~ it’s gluten free, low calorie, paleo, and Whole 30!

Thanks for putting up with my wild mood swings lately…I know going from Nutella to Citrus Salsa is a pretty head-spinning shift of gears. Maybe it’s the balmy weather we’ve been having. We’ve already had 5 feet less snow than at this same time last year. It’s got me thinking sunshine and Spring Break.I promise this dish will erase any lingering traces of guilt you might be feeling over that Nutella…

I used a regular navel orange, a blood orange, a pink Cava Cava orange and a tangerine for my salsa. It’s just as easy to pick up an assortment of varieties instead of automatically filling a bag with the same old Sunkist navels, and when you cut them open you get the surprise of new colors and flavors. You can also use grapefruit if you want to.

Any type of fish will be good prepared this way, if halibut is unavailable or too pricey, try salmon, cod, or tilapia.

Likewise the salsa can be used with other types of dishes, try it on crab or fish cakes, for instance.
