    Halibut with Peach and Pepper Salsa Recipe

    Warm weather might still be months away, but at least you can bring summer flavors to your table with a big pile of fruity-spicy salsa served over fresh halibut.

    The combination of peaches and hot pepper creates a delicious contrast, and the bell peppers add plenty of crunch to the mix; if you tend to get a little bored of mild-flavored fish, this is definitely one way to solve the problem.

    Halibut with Peach and Pepper Salsa

    Like most fish, halibut is very nutritious: it’s full of B vitamins and important minerals (notably magnesium, selenium, and even a little bit of calcium!). And of course, it also has some Omega-3s, although the fish is so lean that the absolute amount of Omega-3s isn’t huge.

    You can cook the fish for this recipe in a skillet or on a grill, depending on the weather; it’s good either way.

    Serve it with a light salad or some easy zucchini (grilled or oven-roasted to match the fish), and you’ll be all set to enjoy a colorful and extremely nutritious meal.
