Red Snapper with Pineapple-Peach Salsa and Mango "Guacamole"

Snapper:

2 red snapper fillets, 1 to 1 1/4 pounds each, skin on

1/4 cup fresh orange juice

1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon paprika

3 cloves garlic, minced

Salsa:

1 fresh pineapple, sliced, cored, and peeled

2 medium peaches, peeled, halved, and pitted

1 small onion, diced

2 jalapeno chiles, seeded and diced

8 to 10 sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped

salt

sugar and or lime juice, if needed

Mango 'Guacamole':

3 ripe mangos

1/2 small onion, very finely chopped

1 jalapeno chile or habanero chile, seeded and finely chopped

1 ripe tomato, cored and finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint

1/2 teaspoon salt

5 sprigs parsley, chopped

olive oil for brushing fillets

warm flour tortillas

Snapper: Rinse fish and pat dry. Combine orange juice, oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic in a resealable plastic bag. Add fish and seal bag; turn to coat fish. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.

While fish is marinating, make the salsa: Place the pineapple rings and peach halves in the center of the cooking grate and grill 5 to 7 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time. Remove from grill and allow to cool. Dice and place in a small bowl. Add the onion, jalapeno, and cilantro; mix well. Season with salt. Adjust tartness with either sugar or lime juice. Let rest for 30 to 60 minutes before serving so flavors can blend.

"Guacamole": Peel mangos and cut fruit off each side and ends of the pit. In a medium-sized bowl, mash mango with a fork and combine with the remaining guacamole ingredients until well mixed but still lumpy. Chill until ready to serve.

Remove fish from marinade and blot on a paper towel. Lightly brush both sides of fish with oil to prevent sticking to cooking grate. Place fish skin side down in center of cooking grate. Grill 8 to 10 minutes or until fish is opaque and flakes with a fork, turning once halfway through grilling time. Remove from grill and serve with the salsa, guacamole, and tortillas.

Makes 6 servings.
