2 halibut or salmon steaks (about 3/4 lb)
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup Old El Paso™ Thick 'n Chunky salsa

In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix marinade ingredients. Add fish steaks, turning several times to coat with marinade. Cover; refrigerate 15 minutes, turning once.

Expert Tips

tip 1
Use a grill basket when grilling delicate fish, which can break apart easily. Be sure to spray the basket with cooking spray or lightly brush it with vegetable oil before adding the fish.
tip 2
For best results, marinate fish only up to 2 hours. If the fish marinates longer, it will begin to toughen.
