Amount Ingredient
rub ----------------
1 tbl fresh lime juice or lemon
2 tsp vegetable oil divided use
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
pepper optional to taste
1/4 lb halibut fillet in one piece
or cut into steaks
----------------- RELISH ----------------
1/2 lb zucchini 1/4-inch dice
2 cup corn kernels approximately
1/2 oz stewed tomatoes Mexican style drained, 1/2-chop
Instructions:
Instructions: 1. FISH : Combine juice, half the oil in a small cup or bowl. Add cumin, cinnamon and salt (pepper if using). Stir to combine. Place fish on lightly greased broiler pan, tucking under thin end of filet, if necessary, to ensure more even cooking. Brush with half the rub. Set aside for 15 minutes. Preheat the grill or broiler.

2. Meanwhile, make the salsa: Heat remaining oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini; saute 3 minutes. Add corn and tomatoes. Add all or enough of the tomato liquid to allow the vegetables to boil. Bring to boiling, over medium high heat. Simmer rapidly for 5 minutes, without stirring, until most of the liquid cooks off. Cover and set aside.

3. Broil or grill fish, basting once or twice with the rub. Cook, turning once, until fish is opaque in center.

4. Spoon corn mixture over fish to serve.

NOTES : Sweet, hot and tangy - an easy dish with a salsa that is very colorful on the plate. Recipe is suitable for halibut, cod, scrod, turbot and tilapia. Serve with tortilla chips and cilantro-specked rice and a tangy-sweet citrus sorbet.

We like colorful salsas. This one is cooked but not too long. The colors - green yellow and red - are still vivid.
