Grilled Cod with Green Tomato Salsa

This recipe is another way to use up some of the green tomatoes that I have left at the end of this garden season. A simple marinade for fish and easy tomato salsa will make a wonderful complement to each other at the dinner table.

Ingredients:
Two 6 oz. to 8 oz. cod fillets
Fish marinade ingredients:
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 juice of lime
2 tbs orange juice
3 tbs vermouth or sweet Marsala
1 tsp rice wine vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp honey
Ingredients for green tomato salsa:
2 large green tomatoes, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lime juice
1 jalapeno, chopped
1/2 cup sweet white onion
1/4 cup Italian dressing
2 green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup sweet basil and cilantro, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for grilling

Directions:
Combine all the green tomato salsa ingredients in a non-metallic bowl. Mix well. Cover bowl with lid and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This salsa is best if can be made a day before and keeps well for up to one week.

Combine all the ingredients for fish marinade and place cods into the marinade. Let sit for one hour.
Heat grill or a large nonstick pan with added olive oil. Grill each side of fish for 3 to 5 minutes or until fish is flaky or no longer transparent. Top each fish with tomato salsa. Serve.
