Grilled Ahi w/ Fruit Salsa and Broccolini. Served with avocado and almonds. 

An awesome dish that is super fresh and light tasting, yet completely satisfiying at the same time!
 
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 8-10 minutes
 
Ingredients:
6 oz. Ahi
5 oz. Broccolini (approx. 6 spears)
1/2 Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup Black Berries, Blue Berries, Raspberry Mixture (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup Mangos (fresh or frozen)
1/2 Lemon
1/2 teaspoon chopped cilantro (fresh)
~12 almonds
1/3 avocado
 
Combine fruit in a bowl (use frozen fruit if you are lazy, it still retains much of its nutritional value), squeeze lemon over fruit and add freshly chopped cilantro. Mix it up and let it sit while you prepare the other stuff. Drizzle olive oil over the Ahi and the broccolini, season them to your taste (lemon dill seasoning is one of my favorites for fish). I cut the bell pepper into quaters but I don’t add any seasoning b/c they have such a great flavor (especially the red, yellow, and orange ones). Heat the grill to med-high heat and throw the Ahi, broccolini and bell pepper on there. After about 3 minutes flip the broccolini and pepper. Wait about another minute and flip the fish. About 2 minutes later the veggies should be done, broccolini should still be firm, peppers should be just a tad soft. Another 2 minutes and the fish should be done too. Don’t over cook it! It should have a slight hint of pink at the center when you pull it off the grill. A few minutes later, when it finally makes it to the table the pink should be pretty much gone, if there is still a hint of pink don’t worry, it’s much better slightly underdone. With sword fish and tuna, if you over cook it just a little it starts getting pretty tough. Cut the bell peppers into smaller squares, throw it in the fruit mix, stir it up and pour it over the fish. Add almonds and 1/3 avocado on the side to give this meal some necessary and healthy fats, as well as giving the dish a complete and dynamic texture.
