Ingredients:

1 pound grouper or other firm white fish fillets (about 1/2 inch thick)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

cooking spray

1/2 cup diced seeded plum tomato (about 2 tomatoes)

1/2 cup diced green bell pepper

1/2 cup diced red bell pepper

1 teaspoon grated lime rind

1/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 1/2 limes)

1/4 cup diced red onion

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

3 tablespoons diced seeded jalapeño pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. Prepare grill.
2. Sprinkle fillets evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Place fillets on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 6 to 7 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove fish from grill, and flake fish into bite-sized pieces.
3. Combine fish and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl; toss gently. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
