Ingredients:

Coriander Spice Blend
 3 tsp coriander seeds
 ¾ tsp fennel seeds
 ¾ tsp red chili flakes
Walnut Peach Relish
 2 small firm but ripe fresh peaches, halved and pitted
 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
 6 Tbsp chopped California walnuts, toasted,
 ½ cup very thinly sliced and quartered fresh fennel
 2 Tbsp minced red onion
 2 Tbsp thinly sliced fresh basil
 1 ½ Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
 ½ tsp kosher salt, or to taste
Fish
 6 (5 to 6-oz.) skinless mahi mahi fillets (If mahi mahi is not available, substitute swordfish, halibut, or other firm white fish)
 2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Preparation:

1

To prepare spice blend, place coriander seeds, fennel seeds and red chili flakes in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until lightly browned and fragrant, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to a spice or coffee grinder and grind into a fine powder; set aside.

2

To prepare relish, heat grill to medium-high. Toss peaches in medium bowl with oil and place cut side down on grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until nicely grill marked and lightly charred. Turn and grill for 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and let stand until cool enough to handle.

3

Dice into ½ -inch pieces and transfer to a medium bowl. Add walnuts, fennel, red onion, basil, olive oil, red wine vinegar, kosher salt and ¼ tsp of the coriander spice blend. Gently stir to combine, then cover and set aside at room temperature.

4

Brush both sides of the mahi mahi fillets with 2 Tbsp of oil, then evenly sprinkle both sides with about 2 tsp of the remaining spice blend. Use all of the spice blend if you prefer a spicier flavor.

5

Place fish on hot grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until firm to the touch and fish flakes easily.

6

Transfer to a serving platter and serve with Walnut Peach Relish.
