I only make this Citrus Grilled Fish with Triple Berry Salsa in summer. I wait until the farmers’ market stalls are bursting with sapphire and ruby berry gems from Alberta and B.C. farms. Marinating the fish and cooking it quickly at high heat keeps it moist and flavourful. The Triple Berry Salsa brightens each bite without overwhelming.
I’ll post the fish recipe here and include the Triple Berry Salsa but I’ll also post that recipe separately in case you are just looking for a way to jazz up your tortilla chips some summer evening. I source my ling cod from Skipper Otto (not sponsored, I just like them). I enjoy it even more because I know I’m eating sustainable seafood and supporting fishermen directly.
