Halibut with Watermelon Salsa

Rich and flaky, halibut is an ideal choice for a simple summer dinner. Here halibut is deliciously bathed in a tangy watermelon marinade then grilled and topped with watermelon salsa. Serve with grilled zucchini and potato salad for a memorable warm weather meal. Halibut steaks are particularly suited for grilling, but fillets are excellent, too.
