Instructions

For the mango salsa
1
In a medium bowl, combine the mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, pomegranate seeds, and jalapeño. Drizzle with fresh lime juice. For added balance and richness, you can incorporate a splash of olive or avocado oil.
For the halibut
1
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Prepare the grill by oiling the grates. This will help prevent the fish from sticking to the grates.
2
Brush the halibut filets with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Grill the halibut for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
3
When the fish is done, remove it from the grill and drizzle it with lemon juice.
4
Top with fresh mango pomegranate salsa and serve.

Notes

If pomegranates are unavailable, strawberries are a great substitute.
