By joanmarie

Paired with a sweet and spicy salsa, this citrus-marinated grilled halibut offers a dynamite flavor. Leaving the skin on while grilling means you don't have to turn the fish over, which can be tricky. Grilled Citrus Halibut with Mango Salsa is the perfect summertime main course and goes well when paired with grilled vegetables, rice pilaf, and a fresh summer salad.
