Serves/Makes: 4
Difficulty: 3
Prep/Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

FISH
2 cod fillets totaling about 1 3/4 pounds, or other semi-firm white fish fillets
1 package Baja Citrus Marinade (recommend McCormick Grill Mates)
1/4 cup mango nectar (or you can use orange juice)
2 T mango-passion balsamic vinegar (available on-line)
1/4 c orange olive oil (available on-line)
1 T honey
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper

SALSA
1 large mango sliced into 1/4 inch slices
3 large shallots sliced into 1/4 inch slices
2 t orange olive oil
2 T mango-passion balsamic vinegar
1 T honey
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 T chopped cilantro

Preparation:

Preheat Gas Grill to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl whisk marinade, orange juice, 2T balsamic vinegar, orange olive oil and 1 T honey. Pat fish fillets dry and carefully place in large zip top bag. Pour marinade over fish and seal bag. Very gently massage marinade into fish and leave for 15 minutes, turning once.

While fish is marinating, place mango and shallot slices in a singe layer on a baking sheet. In a small bowl mix 2 T balsamic vinegar, 1 T honey and 2 t orange olive oil. Brush both sides of the mango and shallots. Salt and pepper both sides as well.

Grill mango for 6 minutes and shallots for 11, turning half way through. When the mangos are done place them back on the baking sheet and cover with a lid of a pan to further soften. When shallots are done add them to the baking sheet and cover as well.

Remove fish from bag and lightly pat with paper towel. Salt and pepper both sides. Grill for about 6 minutes or until opaque and glistening.

While fish is grilling, chop mango's and shallots into a small dice and combine. Add 1 T chopped cilantro (or parsley) and set aside and keep warm.

To serve, place fish on plate and spoon salsa over top.

Cooks Notes - I don't often use packaged spices but now know I have been missing out. The addition of the juice and balsamic vinegar made this one of the tastiest fish dishes I have had.

Be sure to check out my compatible side dish, Tropical Orzo and Rice. It has pasta, rice and spinach all in one dish so along with the fish, your meal is complete.
