By Ned Bell /

This time of year is perfect for a simple roasted, baked or grilled fish, especially with first-of-the season halibut

Ingredients

  • 4- to 5-oz pieces of your favourite fresh fish (Organic Ocean Ocean Wise halibut, albacore tuna and wild salmon are the best), roasted, grilled or barbecued for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, seasoned with sea salt and cracked black pepper
  • 1 whole avocado, pitted and peeled, seasoned with salt and pepper, and rubbed in extra virgin olive oil, grilled

Apricot Relish Ingredients

This can be made with any local seasonal fruit

  • 2 cups apricots, fresh or dried
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp cracked black pepper
  • 2 whole lemons, zested and juiced

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Cook relish ingredients together in a small pot for 15 minutes.
  2. Purée in a Vitamix or bar blender.
  3. Cool and serve overtop the grilled fish. (This jam is also great on cheese plates and over vanilla ice cream.)
