Salmon with Zuchini Salsa

10 ounces zucchini (about 2 medium), trimmed, chopped

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro plus leaves for garnish

1/3 cup chopped white onion

5 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 1/2 tablespoons chopped seeded jalapeƱo chiles

1 1/4 teaspoons finely grated lime peel

2 1/4 teaspoons coarse kosher salt, divided

Nonstick vegetable oil spray

1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

1 1/4 teaspoons ground coriander

6 6-ounce skinless halibut fillets or cod fillets


1. Combine zucchini, chopped cilantro, and next 4 ingredients in blender. (Vita mix speed 2)

2. Add 1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt.

3. Puree until salsa is smooth. (I chose chunky)

4. Transfer to small bowl.

5. Cover; chill.

6. Preheat broiler.

7. Line broiler pan with foil; coat foil with nonstick spray.

8. Combine 1 1/4 teaspoons pepper, coriander, and remaining 1 teaspoon coarse salt in small bowl; stir to blend.
