Directions
1.
For salsa, in a medium bowl combine the orange peel, chopped oranges, tomato, cilantro, green onion, walnuts, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
2.
Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels.
3.
In a small bowl combine cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Brush the fish with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with cumin mixture.
4.
Place fish on the greased unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil about 4 inches from the heat for 8 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, gently turning once halfway through broiling. Spoon the salsa over fish. Makes 4 servings.
