Equipment

  • Heavy duty foil

Ingredients

For Salsa

  • 1 blood orange peeled & cut into segments (save zest)
  • 2 tablespoons red onion finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

For Fish

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 2 skinless haddock filets
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

Blood Orange Salsa:

  • In a medium bowl, combine orange segments, onion, cilantro, olive oil, and orange zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

For Fish

  • Heat the grill or grill pan to about 350°F.
  • Drizzle olive oil (or butter) onto 2 sheets of heavy duty foil. Place haddock directly on the greased foil.
  • In a small bowl, mix the orange zest, thyme, 1 tsp salt, and a pinch of cracked black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the haddock fillets.
  • Carefully seal the foil into packets and place them on the grill.
  • Grill the haddock in the foil packets for 8-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the filets. The fish should be opaque white and easily flake with a fork when it's done.
  • Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill and plate the haddock filets, pouring any juices over top.
  • Top with salsa just before serving.
