Grilled Red Snapper With Tropical Fruit Salsa
4 large red snapper fillets
juice from two limes
1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon course ground black pepper
1 1/4 cup tropical fruit salsa
Place the red snapper fillets in a shallow dish and reserve. In a small bowl combine the lime juice, fresh minced ginger, course ground black pepper and olive oil. Pour half of the mixture over the fish and prepare the grill.Clean the grill well before getting it hot, this will help insure the fish will not stick while cooking. Start with a grill brush and remove any burnt on material. After words with an old towel that has been slightly oiled with plain vegetable oil rub the grill down. This is what chef's call "seasoning the grill". Preheat the grill for 5 minutes over high heat. Once the grill is very hot reduce the flames to a medium setting and grill the snapper filets for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until the fish as reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees. While the fish is cooking baste with the remaining lime ginger marinade.
Once the fish has finished cooking top with the tropical fruit salsa and serve. Serves 4
