I made this for my husband and I and it was pretty good. We got the fish at Santa Monica seafood ($28.99/lb). I'm not sure the grilled tomato process was worth the effort. The relish was good but not a wow. we grilled the (1-inch+) fish for a total of 6 minutes and it was slightly over done. 4-5 minutes would have been perfect.

Mild halibut pairs nicely with this tangy relish, starring tasty late-summer tomatoes. Any other meaty, firm fish, such as wild salmon or striped bass, will also work.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and about 1/3 cup tomato mixture)
