Ingredients
  • 2 cup diced watermelon, seeded
  • 2 tablespoon white-wine raspberry vinegar or plain raspberry vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • four 6-ounce halibut steaks
  • 1 large scallion, chopped finely
  • pinch of cayenne (optional)
Directions
  1. Using a fork, mash 1 cup of the watermelon in a wide, shallow dish until all of the juices are released. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the vinegar and oil, and season with salt and pepper, to taste, to make a marinade. Add the halibut, turn to coat, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  2. In a bowl, toss together the remaining watermelon, remaining vinegar, scallion, and cayenne. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, to make a salsa. Set aside.
  3. Preheat a gas grill or cast-iron grill pan on moderate heat.
  4. Grill the halibut until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Transfer the fish to a serving platter and top with the salsa. Serve immediately.
