I've been making this dish for years and it really is delicious. I've made it with Mahi Mahi as well as halibut, but it is important to choose a thick, fleshy fish so that it will stand up to the grill. I use fresh mint and pineapple in the salsa and it turns out light, fresh, and simply delightful.
