Servings: 4

Prepare salsa: Combine lemon juice and honey in medium mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients and toss together gently. Mixture can be made several hours ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.

Halibut: Preheat broiler/oven or grill to medium-high heat (450oF). 

Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Halibut under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Brush both sides of halibut with oil. Place on a spray-coated broiling pan or well-oiled grill, 5 to 6 inches from heat, and cook about 5 minutes.  Turn halibut over and sprinkle with seasoning salt. Cook an additional 7 to 10 minutes for frozen filets or 5 to 6 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.

Remove halibut to individual serving plates and top with spoonfuls of salsa.
