Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
- Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a large platter and set aside. Pat the skin of the halibut dry with a paper towel and then brush the fillets all over with olive oil. Season the flesh generously with salt and pepper.
- Oil the grill grates and put the cherry tomatoes and fish skin-side down on the grill. Cover and let cook until the tomatoes are charred and starting to split, about 5 minutes, depending on the ripeness of the tomatoes and the heat from your grill. Cook the halibut until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer the fish skin-side down to the platter with the sliced tomatoes.
- Put the cherry tomatoes in a blender, discarding the vine, and add the olive oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Blend until smooth, then stir in half the chives and basil. Spoon the tomato vinaigrette over the fish and tomatoes. Drizzle everything with some more olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining chives and basil. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt.

GRILLED PACIFIC HALIBUT WITH MANGO SALSA
This sweet and spicy salsa goes beautifully with a firm, white fish like halibut. Make sure your mango is very ripe. Mangos are a good source of potassium, vitamin A and beta-carotene. You would think that such a sweet fruit would be high in calories, but because of all the water in a juicy mango, the caloric content is relatively low - about 135 calories in a whole mango, according to nutritionist and author Jonny Bowden.

Steps:
- Finely dice the mango. Cut down the broad side of the mango, slightly off center, from the stem end to the tip end. The knife should scrape against the side of the pit. Repeat on the other side, cutting as close to the pit as possible. Cut the flesh from the sides of the pit, following the curve of the pit. Lay each half on your cutting surface, and score with the tip of your knife in a cross-hatch pattern, down to the skin but not through it. Turn the mango half inside out, and slice the cubes away from the skin. Then cut the cubes into very small dice.
- Toss the mango in a bowl with the chiles, cilantro, mint, jicama and lime juice. Season with salt if desired. Cover the bowl, and allow to sit for an hour while you prepare your grill.
- Heat a medium-hot grill (or heat an indoor griddle or grill pan). Season the halibut fillets or steaks with salt and pepper, and toss with the olive oil in a bowl. Place the fish directly over the coals, and grill for four to five minutes per side, depending on the thickness. The fish should be opaque all the way through, and you should be able to pull it apart with a fork.
- Remove the fish to a plate or a platter. Serve with the salsa spooned partially over the fish and partially on the side. Alternately, spoon the salsa onto plates and set the fish on top. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH TOMATO-BASIL SALSA
This is an easy fish recipe with light, bright flavors. You can use any mild flavored, firm, white fish; but halibut is my favorite with this. Watch the fish carefully as it cooks, if you overcook it, it will be rubbery. Make sure that the tomato you choose is fully ripe- this will not come out tasting right with under ripe tomatoes.

Steps:
- In a non-reactive bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Add the tomatoes and basil, stirring gently to combine. Set aside while you cook the fish.
- Preheat your grill to medium high.
- If your fish has skin on it, season the flesh side with salt and pepper. If it has no skin, place the fish on a folded piece of aluminum foil, large enough to hold the fish in one flat layer, coated with cooking spray. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the fish on the grill, skin/foil side down. Cook until the fish flakes with a fork, or is barely opaque in the middle. It should still look a little wet in the center.
- Remove the flesh from the skin (I just leave the skin on the grill and burn it off) or the foil, and place on a serving platter. Stir the salsa, then drizzle over the fish. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality halibut. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Marinate the halibut before grilling. This will help to infuse the fish with flavor and keep it moist. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices, or you can try a more complex marinade with ingredients like yogurt, honey, or soy sauce.
- Grill the halibut over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill and will give it a nice, even cook. Cook the halibut for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- Serve the halibut with a flavorful salsa. This will help to brighten up the dish and add some extra flavor. You can use a simple salsa made with tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, or you can try a more complex salsa with ingredients like mango, avocado, or corn.
Conclusion:
Grilled halibut with summer salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The halibut is grilled to perfection and the salsa adds a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
