Autumn is all about spending evenings huddled around a fire pit listening to the crackling leaves sway and fall in the breeze and sipping a warm drink.  It is not about spending hours in the kitchen preparing a complicated meal while missing out on the joys of the season.  The Autumn Grill Series continues with Grilled Fish with Orange-Fennel Salsa, a super simple dish requiring just minutes of prep and grilling to keep you where you want to be. Featuring seared rockfish and an aromatic citrusy orange and Fennel salsa, what this dish saves in time is spent on gorgeous flavor.

Begin preparing the salsa by combing olive oil, white wine vinegar, soy sauce, cilantro, fresh ginger, sugar, peeled orange segments, fennel strips, onion slices, salt, and pepper. Salty from the soy, sweet from the sugar, earthy from the ginger and fennel, and orange citrus make this salsa a sensory explosion.  Coat the rockfish filets in an oil mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, salt, and pepper, and then grill over medium-high heat for just a few minutes per side until they turn opaque in the center.  Serve the filet topped with salsa for a truly delightful meal on a beautiful evening, all the while being able to take in this very special time of year with the Autumn Grill Series.
