Ingredients:
4 6-oz portions halibut
2 cups diced Roma tomatoes
1 1/2 cups diced mango
1/2 cup diced onion
1 tsp white sugar
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 cups diced mango

1 tsp white sugar
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

To make the fish: Coat a stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat to preheat. Season both sides of halibut with salt and cracked pepper. Place halibut on hot pan and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place halibut on baking sheet and place in 400° oven until cooked through (approximately 5-8 minutes).
