summer fish recipes: halibut and salmon

I love to eat fish in the summertime.  It is light, healthy and just seems perfect for bright summer evenings.

I recently found a couple recipes that I really like.  I am a little picky when it comes to fish and have never been crazy about seafood.  A fish recipe has to have just the right about of seasoning without tasting fishy or overpowering the light fish flavor.  The following 2 recipes passed my picky fish test.
Enjoy some fish on a lazy summer evening with a glass of your favorite white wine.  It is the perfect summer supper!
