Grilled Snapper with Olives & Oranges

This sounds like an unlikely combination but the fruit "salsa" is pretty and quick and really good.

Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 8 mins

Serves 4

1-1/2 c. orange sections, chopped (sweet is good: I used mineolas)
1/3 c. sliced green olives (I used queens)
1/4 c. diced red onion
2 T. finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
3 T. fresh lime juice, divided
(I used double the amounts listed above. The more salsa per filet, the better.)

4, 6-oz. snapper fillets
2 T. olive oil

1.
Coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium (300-350F). In a small bowl combine oranges, olives, onion, parsley and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Set aside.

2.
Season fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with oil and remaining lime juice.

3.
Place fillets on grill. Grill 4 to 5 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Spoon orange-olive salsa over filets (and extra on the side if you made double per my instructions!).

Serve with rice.
