Long time, no blog! This summer has been filled with fun and family, and hasn't left me much time for cooking or for blogging! After spending a week or so road tripping through the Yucatan, Shea's sister Kiley came to stay with us for about a month. We had a blast showing her lots of great food around DC, but I am happy to be back to our kitchen trying out new recipes.
This recipe is light, fresh, quick, and easy. Shea and I used to eat LOTS of mango salsa when we lived in Hawaii (we had a mango tree in our back yard), so I know that anything paired with mango salsa will be great. Like you probably already know, we don't have a grill so we cooked our halibut in the oven and it turned out great. We served ours with some red peppers sauteed in a cast iron skillet for a complete meal.
