Prepare the Mango Salsa with One Mango, minced, 3/4 cup minced cucumber, 3 Tablespoons minced Cilantro and 1/2 cup minced red onion, with a dash of fresh lime juice added at the end. You can make this preparation in advance and refrigerate.
Fresh Halibut often comes with a layer of skin on it, so trim it off so the fish is clean, and the filets look uniform. Then wrap the filets in a pre-soaked Cedar paper, which you can often find by the fish section at the grocer or fish market. Place on a hot grill for 3-4 minutes, flip and cook the other side for the same amount of time or until the fish is flaking. You can also use foil, but the point is to basically poach the fish.
Here is the finished product. You can find out many more delicious grilling recipes at Fire and Flavor.
