Fish
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice
4 halibut steaks (or flounder, haddock or cod)

In a medium bowl, combine mango, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate. (Make a day ahead, if possible, to enhance the flavor.)
Preheat grill to high and brush with oil. In a medium bowl, combine butter, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, dill, parsley and lemon juice. Spread evenly on halibut steaks. Cook on preheated grill until flaky, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and serve with salsa and lemon wedges.
