Grilled Halibut with Tomato-Avocado Salsa

Grilled Halibut with Tomato-Avocado Salsa
Recipe Tip
“I stop to exercise at a fitness center on my way home from the office. It works out great, because if I went home first, I might not get there.” Lori S.
A Note from Dr. B.:
You may have heard of the Mediterranean “diet,” which includes a high consumption of fish, fruits, raw and cooked vegetables, the use of olive oil and wine in low to moderate amounts. A major study in Italy confirmed that eating a diet rich in these foods lowers the risk of heart disease.

It was ok
The taste was ok but a little bland. I would like to see a little more spice. I think the marinade was excellent but for some reason the salsa was just a bit bland..
