-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Salsa:
1 cup fresh black-eyed peas
1 cup water
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
2 ears corn, husks removed
cooking spray
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1 clove garlic, minced

Fish:
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
4 (6 ounce) red snapper or other firm white fish fillets
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper


To prepare salsa, combine the first 3 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, partially covered, 30 minutes or until tender. Drain.

Preheat broiler.

Place corn on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 6 minutes or until lightly browned, turning every 2 minutes. Cool. Cut kernels from ears of corn to measure 2 cups. Combine corn, peas, 1/2 cup onion, and next 6 ingredients (1/2 cup onion through garlic) in a medium bowl; toss to combine. Chill.

To prepare fish, 1/2 cup onion and next 4 ingredients (1/2 cup onion through 2 jalapenos) in a large zip-top plastic bag; add fish. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 20 minutes, turning bag once. Remove fish from bag; discard marinade.

Sprinkle 3/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper evenly over fish. Place the fish on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and cook 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

NOTES : Grouper, tilapia and different varieties of snapper all work in this recipe. For a great snack, double the amount of salsa you make and eat it with baked tortilla chips. You can serve the salsa chilled or at room temperature.
