Wahoo with Mango, Corn, and Red Onion Salsa


Saturday May 30

We got some whacking thick chunks of wahoo! from the fish guys at Findlay Market. I don't know if this is a new fish for us, since we have had something called "kingfish" in both England and New Zealand, and this may have been it (or them). It came in great two-inch-thick slices, but was supposed to be cooked a little more than tuna, so it wasn't rare in the middle - a succulent, flavorful white fish. The fish is for grilling: a little oil and some of the Spanish sweet ("El Angel")
We got a few cobs of corn and a Candy Mango from Madison's as well, so Holt made up a salsa. A bit free form, but basically he stripped the kernels and pan toasted them. Let them cool off and added lime juice, coriander leaves (yes, we are indeed trying to use it in every dish, as if in an episode of" Iron Chef: What's Going to Bolt in the Garden"), red onion, and the aptly named candy mango. Sweet corn, sweet mango, sweet life.
