Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Chop the Salsa Ingredients: Finely chop yellow peaches, red bell pepper, chives, and habanero pepper. Add arugula, tearing large leaves, and set aside in a medium bowl.
  2. Marinate the Salsa: In the bowl, add minced garlic, lime juice, and salt. Fold the mixture and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Marinade for Halibut: Whisk lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and paprika in a shallow dish. Submerge the halibut fillets in the marinade for absorption.
  4. Season the Halibut: Remove fillets after 15 minutes, shake off excess marinade, and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
  5. Grill the Halibut: Spray the grill rack with coconut oil cooking spray. Grill fillets for 3 minutes on each side until opaque and flakes easily.
  6. Serve it Up: Remove halibut from grill, let it rest for a minute, and top with the peach salsa. Enjoy!
