Grilled Grouper with Creole Tomato and Charred Corn Salsa
 
Makes 4 Servings
Ingredients
  • 2 ears corn, shucked
  • ½ medium red onion
  • 1 jalapeño
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 Creole tomatoes, seeded and diced (about 2 cups)
  • ½ cup chopped green onion
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
  • Garnish: lime slices
Instructions
  1. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.

  3. Cut corn off cob into a large bowl. Finely dice onion, and add to bowl. Stem, seed, and finely dice jalapeño, and add to bowl. Stir in tomato, green onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  4. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Brush fish with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Rub with Creole seasoning. Add to pan, and cook until browned and fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve with salsa. Garnish with lime slices, if desired.
