Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel

  • 4 medium oranges, peeled, sectioned, and coarsely chopped

  • 1 large tomato, seeded and chopped

  • ¼ cup snipped fresh cilantro

  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped green onion

  • 2 tablespoon chopped walnuts, toasted

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 4 fresh or frozen tuna or sea bass steaks, cut 1 inch thick

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  1. For salsa, in a medium bowl combine the orange peel, chopped oranges, tomato, cilantro, green onion, walnuts, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.

  2. Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels.

  3. In a small bowl combine cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Brush the fish with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with cumin mixture.

  4. Place fish on the greased unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil about 4 inches from the heat for 8 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, gently turning once halfway through broiling. Spoon the salsa over fish. Makes 4 servings.
