Preparation

1. To make salsa, combine first eight ingredients in large bowl and set aside.
2. Heat grill or grill pan on high. Using about 2 tablespoons of the oil, lightly coat watermelon wedges and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the watermelon about 4 minutes per side to create slight caramelization and grill marks. Remove.
3. Rub salt, pepper and the rest of the oil on fish. Lower heat to medium and grill fillets until center is just opaque, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Garnish fish with salsa; serve with grilled watermelon “steaks.”
