Miso Halibut with Mango Salsa

I know it's been a while since I've posted. End of school activities and a heavy workload have distracted me for several weeks. I made wild caught halibut this last weekend and it got rave reviews from the fam. Costco had a great deal on this gigantic piece of fish!

Halibut marinade
Halibut (I used 2 lbs, but we had a few guests with us that night and we ate it all)
Miso paste - unpasteurized, organic (about a 1/2 c.)
Honey (about 1 tbsp - not much)
White wine or mirin (about a 1/4 c.)
Fish sauce (about a tbsp- I use Thai Kitchen brand)

Mix the above ingredients together and place in large glass pan to marinate. Make sure you spread it over the top of the filet too. Place in fridge for 30 minutes.

Mango Salsa
1 large ripe mango, chopped
1/2 red onion, diced
1 1/2 avocados, chopped
lots of chopped cilantro
lots of lime juice
sea salt
1/2 tsp of raw apple cider vinegar
Mix together, cover and place in fridge until ready to serve.

Just before grilling, squeeze the juice of one lime on each side of the fish. I grilled the halibut and it sort of fell apart of me, so you really want to use a grilling fish basket or a mesh grill grate. I didn't have either of those things handy, so I risked it. I still had big chunks of fish to serve, however.

Yum!
